SFTPStream events

Client/Server events

  • ready() - Emitted after initial protocol version check has passed.

Server-only events

Responses to these client requests are sent using one of the methods listed further in this document under Server-only methods. The valid response(s) for each request are documented below.

  • OPEN(< integer >reqID, < string >filename, < integer >flags, < ATTRS >attrs)

    flags is a bitfield containing any of the flags defined in SFTPStream.OPEN_MODE. Use the static method SFTPStream.flagsToString() to convert the value to a mode string to be used by fs.open() (e.g. 'r').

    Respond using one of the following:

    • handle() - This indicates a successful opening of the file and passes the given handle back to the client to use to refer to this open file for future operations (e.g. reading, writing, closing).

    • status() - Use this to indicate a failure to open the requested file.

  • READ(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle, < integer >offset, < integer >length)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • data() - Use this to send the requested chunk of data back to the client. The amount of data sent is allowed to be less than the length requested, for example if the file ends between offset and offset + length.

    • status() - Use this to indicate either end of file (STATUS_CODE.EOF) has been reached (offset is past the end of the file) or if an error occurred while reading the requested part of the file.

  • WRITE(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle, < integer >offset, < Buffer >data)

    Respond using:

    • status() - Use this to indicate success/failure of the write to the file.
  • FSTAT(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • attrs() - Use this to send the attributes for the requested file/directory back to the client.

    • status() - Use this to indicate an error occurred while accessing the file/directory.

  • FSETSTAT(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle, < ATTRS >attrs)

    Respond using:

    • status() - Use this to indicates success/failure of the setting of the given file/directory attributes.
  • CLOSE(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle)

    Respond using:

    • status() - Use this to indicate success (STATUS_CODE.OK) or failure of the closing of the file identified by handle.
  • OPENDIR(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • handle() - This indicates a successful opening of the directory and passes the given handle back to the client to use to refer to this open directory for future operations (e.g. reading directory contents, closing).

    • status() - Use this to indicate a failure to open the requested directory.

  • READDIR(< integer >reqID, < Buffer >handle)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • name() - Use this to send one or more directory listings for the open directory back to the client.

    • status() - Use this to indicate either end of directory contents (STATUS_CODE.EOF) or if an error occurred while reading the directory contents.

  • LSTAT(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • attrs() - Use this to send the attributes for the requested file/directory back to the client.

    • status() - Use this to indicate an error occurred while accessing the file/directory.

  • STAT(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • attrs() - Use this to send the attributes for the requested file/directory back to the client.

    • status() - Use this to indicate an error occurred while accessing the file/directory.

  • REMOVE(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    • status() - Use this to indicate success/failure of the removal of the file at path.
  • RMDIR(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using:

    • status() - Use this to indicate success/failure of the removal of the directory at path.
  • REALPATH(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • name() - Use this to respond with a normalized version of path. No file/directory attributes are required to be sent in this response.

    • status() - Use this to indicate a failure in normalizing path.

  • READLINK(< integer >reqID, < string >path)

    Respond using one of the following:

    • name() - Use this to respond with the target of the symlink at path. No file/directory attributes are required to be sent in this response.

SFTPStream static constants

  • SFTPStream.STATUS_CODE - object - Contains the various status codes (for use especially with status()):

    • OK

    • EOF

    • NO_SUCH_FILE

    • PERMISSION_DENIED

    • FAILURE

    • BAD_MESSAGE

    • OP_UNSUPPORTED

  • SFTPStream.OPEN_MODE - object - Contains the various open file flags:

    • READ

    • WRITE

    • APPEND

    • CREAT

    • TRUNC

    • EXCL

SFTPStream static methods

  • SFTPStream.stringToFlags(< string >flagsStr) - integer - Converts string flags (e.g. 'r', 'a+', etc.) to the appropriate SFTPStream.OPEN_MODE flag mask. Returns null if conversion failed.

  • SFTPStream.flagsToString(< integer >flagsMask) - string - Converts flag mask (e.g. number containing SFTPStream.OPEN_MODE values) to the appropriate string value. Returns null if conversion failed.

SFTPStream methods

  • (constructor)(< object >config[, < string >remoteIdentRaw]) - Creates and returns a new SFTPStream instance. SFTPStream instances are Duplex streams. remoteIdentRaw can be the raw SSH identification string of the remote party. This is used to change internal behavior based on particular SFTP implementations. config can contain:

    • server - boolean - Set to true to create an instance in server mode. Default: false

    • highWaterMark - integer - This is the highWaterMark to use for the stream. Default: 32 * 1024

    • debug - function - Set this to a function that receives a single string argument to get detailed (local) debug information. Default: (none)

Client-only methods

  • fastGet(< string >remotePath, < string >localPath[, < object >options], < function >callback) - (void) - Downloads a file at remotePath to localPath using parallel reads for faster throughput. options can have the following properties:

    • concurrency - integer - Number of concurrent reads Default: 64

    • chunkSize - integer - Size of each read in bytes Default: 32768

    • step - function(< integer >total_transferred, < integer >chunk, < integer >total) - Called every time a part of a file was transferred

    callback has 1 parameter: < Error >err.

  • fastPut(< string >localPath, < string >remotePath[, < object >options], < function >callback) - (void) - Uploads a file from localPath to remotePath using parallel reads for faster throughput. options can have the following properties:

    • concurrency - integer - Number of concurrent reads Default: 64

    • chunkSize - integer - Size of each read in bytes Default: 32768

    • step - function(< integer >total_transferred, < integer >chunk, < integer >total) - Called every time a part of a file was transferred

    • mode - mixed - Integer or string representing the file mode to set for the uploaded file.

    callback has 1 parameter: < Error >err.

  • createReadStream(< string >path[, < object >options]) - ReadStream - Returns a new readable stream for path. options has the following defaults:

    { flags: 'r',
      encoding: null,
      handle: null,
      mode: 0o666,
      autoClose: true
    }
    

    options can include start and end values to read a range of bytes from the file instead of the entire file. Both start and end are inclusive and start at 0. The encoding can be 'utf8', 'ascii', or 'base64'.

    If autoClose is false, then the file handle won’t be closed, even if there’s an error. It is your responsiblity to close it and make sure there’s no file handle leak. If autoClose is set to true (default behavior), on error or end the file handle will be closed automatically.

    An example to read the last 10 bytes of a file which is 100 bytes long:

    sftp.createReadStream('sample.txt', {start: 90, end: 99});
    
  • createWriteStream(< string >path[, < object >options]) - WriteStream - Returns a new writable stream for path. options has the following defaults:

    {
      flags: 'w',
      encoding: null,
      mode: 0o666,
      autoClose: true
    }
    

    options may also include a start option to allow writing data at some position past the beginning of the file. Modifying a file rather than replacing it may require a flags mode of ‘r+’ rather than the default mode ‘w’.

    If ‘autoClose’ is set to false and you pipe to this stream, this stream will not automatically close after there is no more data upstream -- allowing future pipes and/or manual writes.
