Jimmy Praet created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-61587 don't create remote directory when there are no files to publish Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: publish-over-ssh-plugin Created: 2020-03-19 14:09 Priority: Minor Reporter: Jimmy Praet We have a general build pipeline script that is reused by all our projects. It publishes some files to a documentation server with the sshPublisher step. But some projects don't have any documentation, and I would like to have no empty directory created for that project in that case. We see the following: SSH: Connecting from host [dc45dd1bbce5] SSH: Connecting with configuration [doc.cbss.inet] ... SSH: Disconnecting configuration [doc.cbss.inet] ... SSH: Transferred 0 file(s) So no files are transferred, but the configured remoteDirectory is still created, as specified in the documentation: remoteDirectory: Optional destination folder. This folder will be below the one in the global configuration, if present. The folder will be created if does not exist. I tried to specify makeEmptyDirs = false but that has no effect. I don't think that setting applies to the remoteDirectory.
