1. Select the repository you want to add the action to
2. Select Blank workflow file or Set up a workflow yourself, if you don't see these options manually create a yaml file Your_Project/.github/workflows/main.yml
3. Paste the above code into your file and save
4. Now you need to add a key to the secrets section in your project. To add a secret go to the Settings tab in your project then select Secrets. Add a new Secret for FTP_PASSWORD

Settings

Keys can be added directly to your .yml config file or referenced from your project Secrets storage.

To add a secret go to the Settings tab in your project then select Secrets. I recommend you store your FTP_PASSWORD as a secret.
