Extended FS

This library allows accessing local and remote files and performing file operations, using the same API.

• Read a file from local file system: stringContent, err := ReadFile("/var/www/html/index.html")
• Read a file from the configured remote file system: stringContent, err := ReadFile("sftp:///var/www/html/index.html")

Target

• Local: just set an absolute or relative file path, e.g. /var/www/html
• Remote: just add ssh:// or sftp:// protocol before the location, e.g. ssh:///var/www/html or sftp:///var/www/html

Examples

Write local file

This will create a file /var/www/html/index.html with a HTML content on the local file system.

import "github.com/saitho/golang-extended-fs/v2"

extended_fs.WriteFile("/var/www/html/index.html", "<h1>Hello World</h1>")

Write remote file

This will create a remote file /var/www/html/index.html with a HTML content on the remote file system at 192.168.2.105. Local SSH keys are always loaded per default. Additionally, a custom key can be specified via SshIdentify setting.2

See SFTP config for all available settings.

import (
  "github.com/saitho/golang-extended-fs/v2"
  "github.com/saitho/golang-extended-fs/v2/sftp"
)
sftp.Config.SshHost = "192.168.2.105"
extended_fs.WriteFile("ssh:///var/www/html/index.html", "<h1>Hello World</h1>")

import (
  "github.com/saitho/golang-extended-fs/v2"
  "github.com/saitho/golang-extended-fs/v2/sftp"
)
sftp.Config.SshHost = "192.168.2.105"
sftp.Config.LoadLocalSigners = false // do not load local SSH private keys
sftp.Config.SshIdentity = "/path/to/my/private_key.pem"
extended_fs.WriteFile("ssh:///var/www/html/index.html", "<h1>Hello World</h1>")
extended_fs.Chown("ssh:///var/www/html/index.html", 1001, 1001) // set user and group with id 1001 as owner
