Package for working with SFTP in Julia. Built on Downloads.jl, but in my opinion much easier to use. Downloads.jl is in turn based on Curl.
The Julia SFTP client supports username/password as well as certificates for authentication.
The following methods are supported: readdir, download, upload, cd, rm, rmdir, mkdir, mv, sftpstat (like stat)
Examples:
using SFTPClient
sftp = SFTP("sftp://test.rebex.net/pub/example/", "demo", "password")
files=readdir(sftp)
# On Windows, replace this with an appropriate path
downloadDir="/tmp/"
SFTPClient.download.(sftp, files, downloadDir=downloadDir)
statStructs = sftpstat(sftp)
#You can also use it like this
df=DataFrame(CSV.File(SFTPClient.download(sftp, "/mydir/test.csv")))
# For certificate authentication, you can do this (since 0.3.8)
sftp = SFTP("sftp://mysitewhereIhaveACertificate.com", "myuser", "cert.pub", "cert.pem")
# The cert.pem is your certificate (private key), and the cert.pub can be obtained from the private key.
# ssh-keygen -y -f ./cert.pem. Save the output into "cert.pub".
If you get: RequestError: Failure establishing ssh session: -5, Unable to exchange encryption keys while requesting... Try and upgrade to Julia 1.9.4. It seems to be a bug in an underlying library.
