Publishing to the root of an SFTP destination

Post by lorynj »

Hi

I have had no problems publishing to a destination that resides in a sub-directory. However, I'm at a loss for what to place in the Destination/Directory field for a Destination in which the appropriate location is the root directory.

The Directory field will not allow me to leave it blank.

I've also tried

Code: Select all

.
and

Code: Select all

./
to no avail.

What is the appropriate string to indicate: “no directory, publish right here, please”?

Turns out you can't publish to the root directory. Fortunately for me, I actually wasn't in the "root" but in the SFTP's default folder. The default folder is named "public" and is the location I was wanting to deposit the default.htm file.

Turns out the solution was to set the Flare Destination Directory field to:

Code: Select all

../public
i.e. Go up a folder, then (back) down into the public folder.

Works for me.
