## How to Run
#### Option 1 - Run via command line
- Install the npm package using `npm install @olzie-12/ftp-deploy --only=dev`
- Run via command line `ftp-deploy --server ftp.olziedev.com --username test@olziedev.com --password \"CrazyUniquePassword&%123\"`

- **Or you can add a script to make deployments easier**
- Add a new key to your `package.json` file under `scripts` section. See example below.
- You can run the script using the following command `npm run deploy` (run this in the folder that has the `package.json` file)

Example of `package.json`:
```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "deploy": "ftp-deploy --server ftp.olziedev.com --username test@olziedev.com --password \"CrazyUniquePassword&%123\"",
  },
}
```

#### Option 2 - Run programmatically
- Install the npm package using `npm install @olzie-12/ftp-deploy --only=dev`
- Import the code and use it in your code

Example of `myCustomDeployment.js`:
```javascript
import { deploy, excludeDefaults } from "@olzie-12/ftp-deploy";

async function deployMyCode() {
  console.log("🚚 Deploy started");
  await deploy({
    server: "ftp.olziedev.com",
    username: "username@olziedev.com",
    password: `CrazyUniquePassword&%123`, // note: I'm using backticks here ` so I don't have to escape quotes
    exclude: [...excludeDefaults, "dontDeployThisFolder/**"] // excludeDefaults will exclude .git files and node_modules
  });
  console.log("🚀 Deploy done!");
}

deployMyCode();

```
