Error 550 while removing directory

See original GitHub issue

Bug Description I’m using this action to deploy current version of my app to an ftp. So one subdirectory is 1.0.0.1 then *.2 and so on. When the new version is compiled, the old folder does not exist, so this action tries to delete the old folder after removing every file. While removing the files works, the folder throws an error 550.

While this error is annoying I actually want to keep the old files. How do I achieve this or should I create a new issue?

I think I have a similar problem. I have a cache folder, that is stored under a folder with the hash name (YCiIk-L5RdA4md0bJOcVZ) in this case:

The next upload has a similar structure, but with a different hash. The action correctly detects, that the outdated cache folder should be deleted, but throws a 550 error, when it tries to remove the folder, after all files inside it have been removed.

The folder is empty, but still exists on the server. Deleting it manually works just fine. Might there be a problem with deleting empty folders?

Same error here. We are using FTP-Deploy-Action with Gatsby. It seems that it throws an error when trying to access (or delete?) an empty folder. Would be nice to have this fixed as right now we can’t use automatic deployment because of this bug…
