Compiling sass on the server?

Question

Sass

There is a site that is on the server, is it possible to make sass compile to a css file that is also on the server. The only option to access the server is FTP (SFTP). In which direction to dig and is it possible at all?

Answer 1

It is necessary to dig towards the deployment to the server, after compiling from sass. Naturally, various npm plugins can help with this.
For example: https://github.com/sindresorhus/gulp-ftp
The task will look something like this (did not try it)

gulp.task('deploy', function () {
  return gulp.src('src/style.sass')
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(rename('style.css')
    .pipe(ftp({
      host: 'website.com',
      user: 'johndoe',
      pass: '1234'
    }));
});

Answer 2

Well, what will you do when the Gulp or Grunt task runner crashes on the server?
Development must be done on localhost.
