SFTP Node Example

This is an example of sftp communications in node

Wrote js years ago but a dev asked about sftp so updated packages and basic auth, listing, etc worked so sharing

Mileage may vary

Environment Variables

During development, add .env file to the root with the values you want to use for your sftp

FTP_DIR=/

FTP_USER=demo

FTP_PASSWORD=(this is used for basic auth)

FTP_KEY=(if using a key this would be the path to the key file)

FTP_PASSPHRASE=(if using passphrase)

FTP_HOST=your.host.com
