Jenkins, SSH plugin, 0 files transferred

Question

We are a group of three doing a project using MEANJS, Bitbucket is our source control and we are using Jenkins for test automation and CI. We want to use Jenkins to pull from Bitbucket, build and run tests and then deploy the project via SSH to another machine.

We have a connection between Bitbucket and Jenkins, Jenkins is hosted on a windows server, after that we want to deploy our project via SSH and we are able to connect to our CentOS server using SSH, the connection is a success but the transfer always has 0 files:

Our project is named Evert and thus it is located under workspace\Evert.

We have tried all forms of strings for our source files, from a full path down to what we have now that is:

Evert\**\*

We also have remove prefix set as:

Evert\

we have tried following this: Jenkins transferring 0 files using publish over SSH plugin but we still have the same problem. Can anyone please tell us what might be the problem.

Answer 1

You could simply archive it and scp the archive to the CentOS machine. Not all Jenkins plugins are created equal.
