sftpR

R-CMD-check

Robust SFTP tool kit for R, built on top of curl.

This package is inspired by sftp, with modernized updates that shifts from the legacy RCurl to the more secure curl that is still issue-tracked and maintained, a more robust handling of inputs and paths, and more secure management of user credentials.

sftpR leverages an R6 class for connection that safely stores user credential and a reusable curl handle for generic SFTP operations such as download and listing directories, and interal methods to create purpose-driven handles for more specific SFTP operations (upload, delete, rename, etc).

Installation

You can install the development version of sftpR here:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mikuo0628/sftpR")

Quick Start

# Establish connection (see ?sftp_connect for detail)
sftp_conn <- 
  sftp_connect(
    hostname = "127.0.0.1",
    port     = "2222",
    user     = "tester",
    password = "password123"
  )

# List a remote directory
sftp_list(sftp_conn, .recursive = T)
sftp_list(sftp_conn, "127.0.0.1/upload", .recursive = T)

# Upload
## a data frame
sftp_upload(sftp_conn, local_file = mtcars, "upload/mtcars.csv")
## a local file
sftp_upload(sftp_conn, local_file = "/home/path/file.txt", "upload/file.txt")

# Download
sftp_download(sftp_conn, "upload/file.txt")

# Create a remote directory
sftp_mkdir(sftp_conn, "upload/archive")

# Rename / Move
sftp_rename(sftp_conn, "upload/file.txt", "upload/archive/file.backup")
