SFTP client fastPut error

[sambengtson]

I can successfully connect to the server and get a directory listing, but when attempting to upload a file, I get a failure with the following stack trace with the following code:

ftp.on('ready', function () {

    console.log('connection success');
    ftp.sftp(function (err, sftp) {
        if (err)
            throw err;

        sftp.fastPut(currentFile, '/', function (err) {
            if (err) throw err;
            console.log('done');
        });
    });
});

Error: Failure

Any thoughts?

You're missing the filename in the destination path. Try something like this:

var basename = require('path').basename;
// ...
ftp.on('ready', function () {
    console.log('connection success');
    ftp.sftp(function (err, sftp) {
        if (err)
            throw err;

        sftp.fastPut(currentFile, '/' + basename(currentFile), function (err) {
            if (err) throw err;
            console.log('done');
        });
    });
});

I should also point out that this will try to write to the root of the filesystem on the server, which your user may not have access to, so you may still get an error (due to insufficient permissions). If you want to save to the user's home directory or relative to the home directory, you can simply use the filename for the destination or use a relative path specifier (e.g. './foo/' + basename(currentFile) to upload to /home/user/foo/) since OpenSSH (and probably other servers) start with the cwd set to the user's home directory. Otherwise if you're wanting to upload anywhere else, you'll need to use the absolute path.

thx it helps me.. haha, didn't know that for remotePath, we have to put the name of the file..
