| # How to migrate between versions
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Migrating from v4.1.0 to v4.2.0
 | |
| 
 | |
| `v4.2.0` parses the `exclude` option in a more standard way. Going forward the `exclude` option **must** be in the following format:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yml
 | |
| exclude: |
 | |
|   **/.git*
 | |
|   **/.git*/**
 | |
|   **/node_modules/**
 | |
|   fileToExclude.txt
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Migrating from v3 to v4
 | |
| 
 | |
| Migrating from v3 to v4 should be fairly straightforward. Version 4 was designed with speed and ease of initial setup in mind. Going forward version 4 will be the only supported version.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Those who can't upgrade
 | |
| 
 | |
| Most features have been carried forward and improved upon. However, some features did not make the cut:
 | |
| - **`sftp` is no longer supported**. If you have `sftp` access you are using `ssh`, that means you have access to a much more modern and capable protocol. I plan on releasing a separate github action that will deploy over `sftp`/`ssh` using `rsync`. Until then you can continue using version 3.
 | |
| - The `include` argument has been removed. I didn't see much need for it in the initial release. If you need this feature please create a support ticket.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### How to upgrade
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Remove `with: fetch-depth: 2`. It is no longer needed and removing it will _slightly_ speed up deployments.
 | |
| 2. Change the version to `v4.X.X`, for example `SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@v4.3.6` (please check the [README](https://github.com/SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action/blob/master/README.md) or the [releases page](https://github.com/SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action/releases/latest) for the latest version).
 | |
| 3. If you have a `.git-ftp-include` file you should delete it. Version 4 tracks files differently and no longer needs this config file.
 | |
| 4. If you have a `.git-ftp-ignore` file, you should transfer the options to the new `exclude` argument. **Note:** version 4 excludes any `.git*` and `node_modules/` files / folders by default.
 | |
| 5. Update your arguments to reflect the following changes:
 | |
|     - `ftp-server` was split into 4 arguments:
 | |
|         - `server`
 | |
|         - `port`
 | |
|         - `protocol`
 | |
|         - `server-dir`
 | |
|     - `ftp-username` was renamed to `username`.
 | |
|     - `ftp-password` was renamed to `password`.
 | |
|     - `local-dir` and `server-dir` now **must** end with `/`.
 | |
|     - `git-ftp-args` and `known-hosts` arguments were removed.
