I've tried a range of ftp modules, some are out of date and don't work with the latest version of Node and other don't seem to support *S*FTP and the fact I need to use a key to connect to my server.
Do you know much about child_process etc...I'm wondering if the 'fork' functionality is what I should be using. i.e. I connect to the SFTP with the parent process and form child to make my other commands and also create new event listeners for when the data returns. I may also give this a chance https://github.com/sergi/jsftp as I tried it a while ago only to get error "FTP is not defined" which was odd as the module seems to be required without an error On Monday, 30 July 2012 15:11:34 UTC+1, Roly Fentanes wrote: > > Why not try using one of the ftp modules? > > http://toolbox.no.de/search?q=ftp > > On Monday, July 30, 2012 4:01:43 AM UTC-7, carlton wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> I am trying to implent a nodejs script that connects to one of our >> servers using sftp. >> >> So far I can connect using child process and spawning a command such as... >> >> sftp -o Port=22-o PasswordAuthentication=no-o >> UserKnownHostsFile=/home/carlton/.ssh/known_hosts-o >> IdentityFile=private_key-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no-o >> BatchMode=nodeploy@46.x.x.x:/home/carlton/to_process >> >> Now this is the part that has me confused... >> >> I then need to execute commands on the ftp server (e.g. list files, >> rename files) so I listen to the 'data' event.... >> >> sftp.stdout.on('data', function (data) { >> console.log('stdout: ' + data); >> >> sftp.stdin.write("ls -l\r\n"); >> >> sftp.stdout.on('data', function(data){ >> console.log('File list:', data.toString()); >> >> // Parse file names here >> >> sftp.stdin.write("rename >> /home/carlton/FTP_test/to_process/old.php /home/ carlton >> /FTP_test/processed/new.php\n"); >> }); >> }); >> >> Is this the correct way to structure things (i.e. creatiung event >> listener again for the 'data' event within the callback of the previous >> 'data' event listener)? >> I found it hard to find any examples similar to what I need to do which >> made me think I haven't built this as it should have been. >> > -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
