Im new to GitLab and CI but I want deploy from GitLab repo to FTP via lftp

its goes to lftp and still running 1 hour and then return:

ERROR: Job failed: execution took longer than 1h0m0s seconds

.gitlab-ci.yml

...

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  image: mwienk/docker-lftp:latest
  only:
    - dev
  script:
    - lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $FTP_USERNAME,$FTP_PASSWORD -p $FTP_PORT $FTP_HOST; mirror -Rev ./ gitlab  --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"

...

also tried 

script:
  - apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp

Its SFTP protocol, maybe lftp is asking for something on background and not continue? Its not upload anything on FTP. Any advice?

Using SFTP you should try with port 22 and prefix your host like so: sftp://example.com

A very useful tool is also the lftp debug command and --verbose flag for the mirror command. Just include it in your script like so: 

lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; debug; open -u $FTP_USERNAME,$FTP_PASSWORD -p $FTP_PORT $FTP_HOST; mirror -Rev ./ gitlab --verbose --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"

Also you should try to install lftp with: apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp since this version includes the library libgnutls for supporting secure connections.

This is the configuration which worked on my setup deploying with FTP:

.gitlab-ci.yml

...

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp
    - lftp -u $FTP_USER,$FTP_PASS $HOST -e "mirror -e -R -p ./dist/ new/ ; quit" 
    - echo "deployment complete"
  # specify environment this job is using
  environment:
    name: staging
    url: http://example.com/new/
  # needs artifacts from previous build
  dependencies:
    - build
