sftp

The sftp package provides support for file system operations on remote ssh servers using the SFTP subsystem.

This is a fork of github.com/pkg/sftp that changes the server to allow for a plugable backend and adds an S3 and file system backend. The file system backend is mostly used for tests and is similar to the previous behavior. Additionally, this adds a ManagedServer component that can be used to easily create a server with an arbitrary backend.

Tests that depend on the details of the file system server (mostly client tests) are being skipped.

usage and examples

See godoc.org/github.com/pkg/sftp for examples and usage.

The basic operation of the package mirrors the facilities of the os package.

The Walker interface for directory traversal is heavily inspired by Keith Rarick's fs package.

roadmap

• There is way too much duplication in the Client methods. If there was an unmarshal(interface{}) method this would reduce a heap of the duplication.
