Error: Error: EACCES: permission denied, open './_site/.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json'

Bug Description I’m running the ftp deploy action after a jekyll action. The directory and all files created by the previous action are owned by root.root and have 755 permission. I believe this is the default behavior of actions now. However, because of this, the ftp deploy action fails.

I’ve tried both the v4.0.0 and v4.0.1-patch versions of the action.

My Action Config

- name: Deploy site
        uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@4.0.1-patch
        with:
          server: ${{ secrets.ftp_server }}
          username: ${{ secrets.ftp_user }}
          password:  ${{ secrets.ftp_pw }}
          protocol: ftps
          local-dir: ./_site/
          server-dir: /something/
          dry-run: true 

My Action Log

Run SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@4.0.1-patch

Ignore my last comment, just add the following to your yml build file:

state-name: ../.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json

Quick’n’dirty workaround:

Create in your repo a .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json file and set the state-name to ../.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json
