Deploy Express/Node.js Server to FTP (CPanel)

Script to deploy Express/Node.js server builds through FTP to your cPanel hosting.

What it deploys

This script specifically uploads:

• lib/ folder (compiled server code) (you can update the folder name)
• package.json (dependencies)
• package-lock.json (dependency lock file)

Steps

1. Clone this repo

2. Install Deps (npm install)

3. Duplicate .env.sample to just .env and populate values

4. After making changes in your Express/Node.js project, build it (e.g., npm run build) IN THE PROJECT'S folder.

5. Come back to this deploy-nodejs-backend directory and run the script (node index.js) and voila!!!
