I have a pipeline which runs Monday - Friday and usually it will work as expected and update the web app.
However every now and then (about 1 a week) it will fail with this error.
##[warning]FTPError: 550 Access is denied.
connecting to: ftp.mywebsite.site:21
connected: 220 Microsoft FTP Service
##[error]FTPError: 550 Access is denied.
Below is the section of the yaml file in question
- task: FtpUpload@2
displayName: 'FTP Upload Test Site'
inputs:
credentialsOption: inputs
serverUrl: $(ftpServerSite)
username: $(ftpUser)
password: $(ftpPassword)
rootDirectory: '$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)/$(subFolder)'
remoteDirectory: $(remoteDirSite)
clean: true
cleanContents: true
preservePaths: true
trustSSL: true
It is the same code every time and the variables do not change and yet for some reason every now and then we get the fail. Any ideas why please and how we can resolve this?
When I made the change below
clean: false
#cleanContents: true
I then saw this error
/home/vsts/work/1/a/spicetheworld/Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.dll to: /mywebsite/Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.dll
##[warning]FTPError: 550 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
If it’s a transient error, add the retryCountOnTaskFailure
element to the task’s inputs
