First time using a GitHub workflow build and I am using your job, and I am getting the same error. Not sure what I am doing wrong. This is not an FTP issue. It’s a git issue as shown.

version 4 does not use git as a data backing so this issue is resolved in the latest version

Hey,

I am also trying to setup actions for the first time and I am confused about this error. Am I getting it because of a setting my hoster is using? I would be surprised if they are using an old version of curl from 2013, should I ask them? Did I setup the action wrong?

@mykone I have tried setting up the action using the above mentioned documentation and have still received this same error.

i think i may have found the root cause of this issue. i tried to use curl to access my site via ftp, using this format: http://www.mukeshkumar.net/articles/curl/how-to-use-curl-command-line-tool-with-ftp-and-sftp the error i got was: curl: (19) RETR response: 425 googling that, i found this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1002815 that ‘bug’ in curl was fixed in 2013. i suppose it is possible that your implementation uses a version of curl that still has this issue. i suppose it is also possible that there is something unique about the configuration of certain ftp servers. the original ftp server i tried was a godaddy cpanel account. when i switched to using an ftp server on an account i have with dreamhost, it worked perfectly. so, it appears this issue might have a root cause in a certain configuration oddity with ftp servers, but might be solved with looking into a different version of curl.

‘Same’ issue, first it connects, after 5 min. getting: curl: (7) Failed to connect to <REPLACED_THE_IP> port 21: Connection timed out

Is there a way to debug this ?

Hey, I mentioned in #87 that I also got this error, hope this helps somebody too:

curl: (67) Access denied: 530
[error] The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 5

Hey I also got this error at first and my hoster said that they only allowed safe (ftps://) connections. That fixed the issue for me.
