Can't get debug info

[tagplus5]

I run this example and can't get any debug info. Where is my mistake?

var Ftp = new JSFtp({
  host: "myserver.com",
  port: 3331,
  user: "user",
  pass: "1234",
  debugMode: true
});

Ftp.on('jsftp_debug', function(eventType, data) {
  console.log('DEBUG: ', eventType);
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
});

Ftp.ls(".", function(err, res) {
  res.forEach(function(file) {
    console.log(file.name);
  });
});

If you are looking to hook into an event, for the purposes of logging etc, then you can listen for the data event which logs all FTP server responses. Looks like the docs haven't been updated. If you try this instead....

Ftp.on('data', function(data){
    console.log(data);
})

This gives you all the commands and FTP codes that are received from the server, which helps me as I just want to log out a few of the commands to my own app log.

Also, you can listen for connect, error, progress and timeout events.

If it's the internal workings of the module, so seeing everything going on, add a DEBUG=jsftp:* as an environment variable, and this will enable all debug commands and you'll get an output such as....

@dandanknight thanks!

You can also set the DEBUG environment variable to jsftp:general,jsftp:response,jsftp:command (leave out what you don't need) and run your program.

This command does both: DEBUG=jsftp:general,jsftp:response,jsftp:command node ./path/to/program

More info on https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug, which jsftp uses. And indeed, the docs should be updated.
