+#### Setup Steps
 1. Select the repository you want to add the action to
-2. Select the actions tab
+2. Select the `Actions` tab
 3. Select `Blank workflow file` or `Set up a workflow yourself`, if you don't see these options manually create a yaml file `Your_Project/.github/workflows/main.yml`
-4. Paste the above code into your file and save
-7. Now you need to add a key to the `secrets` section in your project. To add a `secret` go to the `Settings` tab in your project then select `Secrets`. Add a new `Secret` for `FTP_PASSWORD`
+4. Paste the example above into your yaml file and save
+5. Now you need to add a key to the `secrets` section in your project. To add a `secret` go to the `Settings` tab in your project then select `Secrets`. Add a new `Secret` for `ftp-password`
+6. Update your yaml file settings

 ### Settings
+**Migrating from v2? See the [migration guide](v2-v3-migration.md)**
+
 Keys can be added directly to your .yml config file or referenced from your project `Secrets` storage.

 To add a `secret` go to the `Settings` tab in your project then select `Secrets`.
-I recommend you store your FTP_PASSWORD as a secret.

-## Common Examples
-### Build and Publish React/Angular/Vue/Node Website
-Make sure you have an npm script named 'build'. This config should work for most node built websites
+### Ignore specific files when deploying
+Add patterns to `.git-ftp-ignore` and all matching file names will be ignored. The patterns are interpreted as shell glob patterns.
+Here are some glob pattern examples:
+
+#### Ignore git related files:
+```gitattributes
+.gitignore
+*/.gitignore      # ignore files in sub directories
+*/.gitkeep
+.git-ftp-ignore
+.git-ftp-include
+.gitlab-ci.yml
+```
+
+#### Ignore a single file called `foobar.txt`
+```gitattributes
+foobar.txt
+```
+
+#### Ignore all files having extension .txt
+```gitattributes
+*.txt
+```
+
+#### Ignore everything in a directory named `config`
+```gitattributes
+config/*
+```
+
+### Force upload specific files
+The `.git-ftp-include` file specifies intentionally untracked files to should upload. If you have a file that should always be uploaded, add a line beginning with `!` followed by the file's name.
+
+#### Always upload the file `VERSION.txt`
+```gitattributes
+!VERSION.txt
+```
+
+#### Always upload the folder `build`
+```gitattributes
+!build/
+```
+
+If you have a file that should be uploaded whenever a tracked file changes, add a line beginning with the untracked file's name followed by a colon and the tracked file's name.
+#### Upload CSS file compiled from an SCSS file
+```gitattributes
+css/style.css:scss/style.scss
+```
+
+If you have multiple source files, you can add multiple lines for each of them. Whenever one of the tracked files changes, the upload of the paired untracked file will be triggered.
+
+```gitattributes
+css/style.css:scss/style.scss
+css/style.css:scss/mixins.scss
+```
+
+If a local untracked file is deleted, any change of a paired tracked file will trigger the deletion of the remote file on the server.
+
+All paths are usually relative to the Git working directory. When using the `local-dir` option, paths of tracked files (right side of the colon) are relative to the set `local-dir`.
+```gitattributes
+# upload "html/style.css" triggered by html/style.scss
+# with local-dir "html"
+html/style.css:style.scss
+```
+
+If your source file is outside the `local-dir`, prefix it with a / and define a path relative to the Git working directory.
+#### Uploading a file outside of `local-dir`
+```gitattributes
+# upload "dist/style.css" with local-dir "dist"
+dist/style.css:/src/style.scss
+```
+
+It is also possible to upload whole directories. For example, if you use a package manager like composer, you can upload all vendor packages when the file composer.lock changes:
+```gitattributes
+vendor/:composer.lock
+```
+But keep in mind that this will upload all files in the vendor folder, even those that are on the server already. And it will not delete files from that directory if local files are deleted.
+
+### Common Examples
+Read more about the differences between these protocols [https://www.sftp.net/sftp-vs-ftps](https://www.sftp.net/sftp-vs-ftps)
+
+### FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
+`ftp://ftp.samkirkland.com:21/mypath`
+
+FTP has existed since 1971, it's an ancient protocol with near universal support.
+
+```yml
+on: push
+name: Publish Website
+jobs:
+  FTP-Deploy-Action:
+    name: FTP-Deploy-Action
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@master
+      with:
+        fetch-depth: 2
+    - name: FTP-Deploy-Action
+      uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@3.0.0
+      with:
+        ftp-server: ftp://ftp.samkirkland.com/
+        ftp-username: myFtpUserName
+        ftp-password: ${{ secrets.FTP_PASSWORD }}
+```
+
+### FTPS (File Transfer Protocol over SSL)
+`ftps://ftp.samkirkland.com:21/mypath`
+
+Use the legacy FTP over a secure encrypted connection.
+
+Notes about sftp:
+- Most hosts don't offer FTPS, it's more common on windows/.net hosts and less common on linux hosting
+- Most hosts don't have a correct certificate setup for ftp domains, [even my host doesn't do it right](https://ftp.samkirkland.com/). This means you'll likely have to add `--insecure` to `git-ftp-args`
+
+```yml
+on: push
+name: Publish Website over FTPS
+jobs:
+  FTP-Deploy-Action:
+    name: FTP-Deploy-Action
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@master
+      with:
+        fetch-depth: 2
+
+    - name: FTP-Deploy-Action
+      uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@3.0.0
+      with:
+        ftp-server: ftps://ftp.samkirkland.com:21/
+        ftp-username: myFTPSUsername
+        ftp-password: ${{ secrets.FTPS_PASSWORD }}
+        git-ftp-args: --insecure # if your certificate is setup correctly this can be removed
+```
+
+### SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
+`sftp://ftp.samkirkland.com:22/mypath`
+
+Similar in name to FTP but this protocol is entirely new and requires SSH access to the server.
+
+##### Notes about SFTP:
+- **You CANNOT use a FTP account - they are not the same!**
+- You must have shell access to your server, please read you webhosts documentation
+- You will need to create a **SSH** user to deploy over SFTP. Normally this is your cpanel or hosting providers username and password
+- Most web hosts change the default port (21), check with your host for your port number

+### Build and Publish React/Angular/Vue Website
+Make sure you have an npm script named 'build'. This config should work for most node built websites.
+If you don't commit your `build` folder to github you MUST create a `.git-ftp-include` file with the content `!build/` so the folder is always uploaded

 ## FAQ
-1. `rm: Access failed: 553 Prohibited file name: ./.ftpquota`
-   * The `.ftpquota` file is created by some FTP Servers and cannot be modified by the user
-   * **Fix:** Add `--exclude=.ftpquota` to your ARGS
-2. How to exclude .git files from the publish
-   * **Fix:** Add `--exclude-glob=.git*/** --exclude-glob=.git**` to your ARGS
-   * Note: If you've already published these files you will need to manually delete them on the server or add the `--delete-excluded` option to ARGS
-   * Note: This will exclude all folders and files that start with `.git` no matter the folder they're in
+1. `Can't access remote 'sftp://', exiting...` or `Can't access remote 'ftps://', exiting...`
+  * **Fix 1:** Verify your login credentials are correct, download a ftp client and test with the exact same host/username/password
+  * **Fix 2:** Remember if you are using SFTP or FTPS you cannot use a normal FTP account username/password. You must use a elevated account. Each host has a different process to setup a FTPS or SFTP account. Please contact your host for help.
+  * **Fix 3:** If you are using sftp or ftps you should add `git-ftp-args: --insecure`, most hosts setup certificates incorrectly :(
+2. `rm: Access failed: 553 Prohibited file name: ./.ftpquota`
+  * **What is happening?** The `.ftpquota` file is created by some FTP Servers and cannot be modified by the user
+  * **Fix:** Add `.ftpquota` to your `.git-ftp-ignore` file
+3. How to exclude .git files from the publish
+  * **Fix:** See the `.git-ftp-ignore` example above
+4. All files are being uploaded instead of just different files
+  * By default only different files are uploaded.
+  * Verify you have `with: fetch-depth: 2` in your `actions/checkout@master` step. The last 2 checkins are required in order to determine differences
+  * If you've had multiple git commits without deploying, all files will be uploaded to get back in sync
+  * Verify you **don't** have the `--all` git-ftp-args flag set
+5. How do I set a upload timeout?
+  * github has a built-in `timeout-minutes` option. Place `timeout-minutes: X` before the `steps:` line. Timeout defaults to 360 minutes.

 ### Debugging locally
 ##### Instructions for debugging on windows
@ -175,17 +326,9 @@ action "FTP-Deploy-Action" {
 - Open powershell
 - Navigate to the repo folder
 - Run `docker build --tag action .`
- (Optional) This step is only required when editing entrypoint.sh due to windows editors saving the file with windows line breaks instead of linux line breaks
-  - Download http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/
-  - In another powershell window nagivate to the dos2unix folder /bin
-  - Run this command every time you modify entrypoint.sh `.\dos2unix.exe "{FULL_PATH_TO_REPO\entrypoint.sh}"`
 - Run `docker run action`
