Simple File Deployment service does not work with FTP
Issue
The Simple File Deployment service in Macromedia Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) does not work if the path for the staging and live servers use FTP.
Reason
The Simple File Deployer only works with Local/Network connections.
Solution
Make sure the CPS server has network access and permissions to copy files to the staging and live servers. Then, set up Simple File Deployment service and specify the network path in the settings.xml file, which is located in the following directory in Windows:
C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Contribute Publishing Services/jrun4/servers/ contribute-wps/contribute/customservices/filedeployer
Following is an example of how to code this setting:
<SiteList><Site><Staging><URI>http://contribute-staging/teamwebsite</URI><FileSystemPath>c:\\contributestaging\teamwebsite</FileSystemPath></Staging><Live><URI>http://contribute.macromedia.com/teamwebsite</URI><FileSystemPath>\\contribute\teamwebsite</FileSystemPath></Live></Site><Site><staging and live servers for an additional website></Site></SiteList>
