FTP deploy doesn't work when adding 'application' to deploy settings

I have successfully deployed a .zip file to the ftp server, but I can't unzip it.
This is my settings: (I've dotted out some information)

artifacts:
  - path: \
    name: myapp

deploy:
    # FTP deployment provider settings
  - provider: FTP
    protocol: ftp
    host: ...
    username: ...
    password:
      secure: ...
    folder: test
    application: myapp

When it tries to copy, it tells me this:
Uploading web application "myapp.zip" to FTP server "ftp://ftp...." as "test".
"test" is the folder, it should say "test/myapp.zip" as it did before I added "application" to the deploy settings.

Anyone know what is going on?

  1. What is your goal here? application makes FTP provider unpacking zip artifact locally and then deploying it file-by-file to remote server.

  2. Ah, I misunderstood. I thought it somehow unpacked it on the remote ftp server. Nevermind then. The actual error message said the name of some file was too long, but I thought it was something wrong with the settings due to it saying it was uploading the artifacts as "test".

    I have somefolder with some deep folders which are not supposed to be there, removing them probably fixes it.
