I am getting following error when I try to push my files to my production server using git ftp.
This is the error I get without the -v option
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git-ftp: line 408: /bin/curl: Bad file number
fatal: Could not upload files., exiting...
This is the detailed error generated using -v option

I am pushing these changes for the first time and I am using git ftp init command.
I have checked and the whole configuration is correct. In fact if I try to push a small number of files it works. But when I try to upload my library folder which is around 45 MB in size I get the above error.
Can any one please help with this?
It seems that git ftp has a bug and it won't work with a larger number of files.
So I did following to remove the error.
I am using Zend Framework. I uploaded my library/Zend folder manually to server and then ignored it using .git-ftp-ignore. This reduce the number of files that git ftp has to handle and now it works fine.
This solution worked for me because I rarely change library/Zend folder.
I have reported this bug
Hope this helps others.
