TypeScript

import { deploy, SftpSyncConfig, SftpSyncOptions } from 'sftp-sync-deploy';
 
let config: SftpSyncConfig = {...};
let options: SftpSyncOptions = {...};
 
deploy(config, options);

Dry run mode

deploy(config, {dryRun: true});

Outputs the tasks to be done for each file in following format. Any changes of the files will not be performed.

[ (local file status) | (remote file status) ] (file path)
                                               -> (task)

Output example

# Local is a file (upload the file)
[ F | F ] index.html
          -> upload

# Local is a directory (sync recursively)
[ D | D ] lib
          -> sync

# Excluded. (do nothing)
[ X |   ] node_modules
          -> ignore

# Remote exists and local doesn't (remove the remote file or directory)
[   | F ] index.html.bak
          -> remove remote

# Remote exists and local is excluded (operation depends on excludeMode option)
[ X | D ] .bin
          -> remove remote # if excludeMode is 'remove'
          -> ignore        # if excludeMode is 'ignore'

# Local and remote have the same name but different types (remove remote then upload local)
[ F | D ] test
          -> remove remote and upload

# Permission error on a remote server (ignored)
[ F | ! ] secret.txt
          -> denied
