Can you retry with the latest version?

[BaseMax]

I must change 1.4 to 1.7?

[sand4rt]

Yeah

[BaseMax]

After change version 1.4 to1 .7:

I deleted pasive parameter from GitHub Action. Still it's same and the warning:

I'll try to look into this and see what I can do.

[radoslawkalamon]

The problem lies within the dependency chain: ftp-deploy -> promise-ftp -> @icetee/ftp.

The package promise-ftp uses the package @icetee/ftp v0.3.15, which employs new Buffer() in the file @icetee\ftp\lib\connection.js on line 54.

There is a newer version, @icetee/node-ftp v1.0.4, that uses Buffer.from(). However, it seems the promise-ftp package has been abandoned, as its latest version v1.3.5 was published 7 years ago.

Therefore, there are two possible ways to resolve this issue:

1. Ditch the ftp-deploy package and use an alternative.
2. Convince the team behind the ftp-deploy package to replace promise-ftp with a more up-to-date dependency.

@BaseMax This one - https://github.com/simonh1000/ftp-deploy - as this is dependency package for ftp-deployer.
