[JENKINS-49518] Directory is not created anymore

[jira-importer]

After reinstallation of jenkins I ended up with version 1.13 of the publish-over-ftp plugin (not sure, which version I had before, probably 1.12). I did not change the jenkins config (ftp host) nor the jenkins tasks. 

Behaviour before update: The remote directory was created on the ftp server

Behaviour after: The remote directory is not created anymore and the file cannot be uploaded.

 

Log of working jenkins task (before update of jenkins):

FTP: Connecting from host [2ea2fa14881a]
FTP: Connecting with configuration [ftp.xxx.at] ...
220 connected to ftp.xxx.at...

WIth the current plugin the log of the same jenkins task looks like:

FTP: Connecting from host [0dfc1108da61]
FTP: Connecting with configuration [ftp.xxx.at] ...
220 connected to ftp.xxx.at...
FTP: Logging in, command printing disabled
FTP: Logged in, command printing enabled
CWD /foo/bar/Upload
250 CWD command successful.

200 Type set to I.
CWD /foo/bar/Upload
250 CWD command successful.
CWD db_dump_2018-02-10_1056
FTP: Disconnecting configuration [ftp.xxx.at] ...
ERROR: Exception when publishing, exception message [Exception when changing to FTP directory [db_dump_2018-02-10_1056]]
Build step 'Send build artifacts over FTP' changed build result to UNSTABLE

What is missing is the

MKD db_dump_2018-02-03_1056

part now!

My global ftp server config contains the base directory /foo/bar/Upload

The jenkins ftp upload task has the remote directory set to "'db_dump_'yyyy-MM-dd_hhmm" with the "Remote directory is a date format" checked in Advanced config.

 

Testing with manual ftp trying to find out if the server has changed its behaviour - "cd not_existing_directory" returned an error code 550, but did not close the ftp connection.
