Better error messages about grunt-ssh HOT 4 CLOSED

I think that there are 2 problems here, (1) plugin cannot read a file (2) plugin cannot upload file. But the issue is that the error message is not clear. It would be nice if it would say

Unable to copy; no valid source files were found at "BUILD/file.tar.gz"

Or if it cannot upload and save remotely, it should also give a path where it tries to save.

This article has helped me, http://tech.toptable.co.uk/blog/2013/08/08/grunt-your-deployments-too/, as it has examples of what I want to achieve.

Try

files: {
     "./": "BUILD/*.tar.gz"
},

from grunt-ssh.

Thanks, I ended up with

files: {
    "./": "BUILD/<%=pkg.name%>.tar.gz"
},
options: {
    srcBasePath         : 'BUILD/',
    createDirectories   : true,
    showProgress        : true,
    path    : '<%=ftp.folder%>',
    host    : '<%=ftp.host%>',
    username: '<%=ftp.user%>',
    password: '<%=ftp.pass%>'
}

Also important to have srcBasePath, because otherwise it will not properly upload file. This seemed to have fixed the issue.

Thanks.

Cool, wish I knew why it worked!
