Vinyl-ftp strange error

Question

I am using Vinyl-ftp to do deployment, when i try to connect with FileZilla or Total Commander everything works ok, but when i try wirh Gulp task i got strange error, i dont see the difference, here is my Gulp task and error message

gulp.task('ftp-test-connection', function () {


var conn = ftp.create({
    host: 'hostname',
    user: 'user',
    password: 'password',
    parallel: 10,
    log: gutil.log
});

var globs = [
      './styles/**/*{css,png,jpg,gif,ttf,woff,eof,svg,woff2}',
      './images/**',
      './views/**',
      './scripts/vendor.scripts.min.js',
      './dist/index.html',
      './dist_test/main.scripts.min.js',
      './dist_test/web.config'
];

return gulp.src(globs, { base: '.', buffer: false })
    .pipe(gulpIf('dist/index.html', rename({ dirname: '' })))
    .pipe(gulpIf('dist/web.config', rename({ dirname: '' })))
    .pipe(gulpIf('dist_test/main.scripts.min.js', rename({ dirname: '/scripts' })))
    .pipe(conn.newer('/site/wwwroot'))
    .pipe(conn.dest('/site/wwwroot'));

});

And here is my error **

Answer 1

I faced the same issue with "vinyl-gulp" and Azure App Services (a.k.a. Azure Web Sites).

In my case the problem was caused by the "\" character contained on the Azure FTP username. I just had to double the "\" (ex: "someuser\$someuser") to solve the issue.

I hope it helps...
