My current company has a script that runs and deletes files that haven’t been modified for two years. It doesn’t take into account any other factors, just modification date. It doesn’t aks for confirmation and doesn’t even inform the end user about.
You should write a script to touch all the files before their script runs.
Thought about it but I use modification date for sorting to have the stuff I’ve recently worked on on top. I instead keep the files where the script isn’t looking. The downside is they are not backed up so I might potentially lose them but if I don’t do that, then I’ll lose them for sure…
Using Filezilla FTP client for production releases in 2024 hit me hard
I must have missed that one, what’s going on with Filezilla?
Filezilla itself is not the problem. Deploying to production by hand is. Everything you do manually is a potential for mistakes. Forget to upload a critical file, accidentally overwrite a configuration… better automate that stuff.
Wait so the production release would consist of uploading the files with Filezilla?
If you can SSH into the server, why on earth use Filezilla?
Are you a software developer?
