I'm using the task FtpUpload@2 in an Azure DevOps pipeline to upload a static website to a hosting company. But I'm not sure how to specify the root folder at the destination website. (I know how to do a subfolder, but not the root folder.) Here's what I've got for that step so far:
- task: FtpUpload@2
inputs:
credentialsOption: 'inputs'
serverUrl: 'ftp://ftp.destination.com'
username: '$(MyUsername)'
password: '$(MyPassword)'
rootDirectory: '.'
filePatterns: '**'
remoteDirectory: '.'
clean: true
cleanContents: false
preservePaths: true
trustSSL: false
The thing is I don't know what I should use for remoteDirectory. Should I use an empty string (''), or should I use a single period like I've got here ('.'). Or should I use a single slash ('/')? Or should I use something entirely different?

Thanks! You may refer to this document link here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/ftp-upload?view=azure-devops might be helpful.
Also, Your query seems to be more related to Azure DevOps and questions related to it are not supported on this forum
Suggest you to reach out in dedicated forum for it over here : Azure DevOps forum
I didn't even know there was such a thing as the Azure DevOps forum you linked to. Thank you! How do I join it? (I'm on the page now, but nothing is obvious about it.)
Another question, @SnehaAgrawal-MSFT , is that Azure DevOps forum only for people who've got a Visual Studio subscription? I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition.
One last thing. Thank you @SnehaAgrawal-MSFT for the link, but that link is to the documentation I was referring to, which mentions the remoteDirectory parameter, but doesn't really explain the various ways it can be used.
Thanks! We have a dedicated forum where expertise in Azure DeVops would help you in resolving this issue. You can post any questions pertaining across VS. DevOps , .Net , C++, TFS
