SFTP-UPLOAD

sftp-upload allows node to upload the content of a folder to a remote server utilizing sftp protocol. The idea behind this modules is to simplify the ssh2 interface for sftp. This module has not OS dependencies so it can be run from Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Getting Started

This module depends on: ssh2 and scp2

	npm install sftp-upload

You must configure the sftp before attempting to upload files. The following parameters are required in the sftp.config object.

• host: Remote server IP/Hostname.
• port: sftp port, 22 by default.
• username: sftp server's username.
• path: Path to a directory or a file that is going to be uploaded to the server. String or Array.
• basePath: Optional. E.g. in case if you have path: ['./public/css','./public/js'] but want to move them directly to a remoteDir without creating public directory, you may also set basePath: './public' to ignore this part of the path. If your path is a string path to a directory, it's set as a basePath by default.
• remoteDir: Remote directory where files are going to be uploaded.
• excludedFolders: Array of directory names that won't be uploaded. (Can include simple glob pattern)
• exclude: Array of specific relative file names that won't be uploaded.
• privateKey: RSA key, you must upload a public key to the remote server before attempting to upload any content.
• passphrase: RSA key passphrase. (Optional, should be stored in external file)
• password: When using username password only authentication (Optional)
• dryRun: Just list files to be uploaded, don't actually send anything to the server.

Example

    var SftpUpload = require('sftp-upload'),
        fs = require('fs');

    var options = {
        host:'localhost',
        username:'root',
        path: '/',
        remoteDir: '/tempDir',
        excludedFolders: ['**/.git', 'node_modules'],
        exclude: ['.gitignore', '.vscode/tasks.json'],
        privateKey: fs.readFileSync('privateKey_rsa'),
        passphrase: fs.readFileSync('privateKey_rsa.passphrase'),
        dryRun: false,
    },
    sftp = new SftpUpload(options);

    sftp.on('error', function(err) {
        throw err;
    })
    .on('uploading', function(progress) {
        console.log('Uploading', progress.file);
        console.log(progress.percent+'% completed');
    })
    .on('completed', function() {
        console.log('Upload Completed');
    })
    .upload();
