Use the object’s download function, and pass the path to the remote file and the local path in which to store the downloaded file. A function call would look like this: "./remote.txt") def upload_file(local_path, remote_path)Īs we finalize the process, we just need to download our files. Use the object’s upload function and pass the path to the local file and the remote path (the same place the file should end up after we upload). In our example, our wrapper function simply prints out the files found in the remote path. This is done by traversing the method, which returns an array of objects that correspond to the files found in the path argument. Now that we have a working connection, we can use it to list files on the remote SFTP server. Sftp = SFTPClient.new(uri.host, uri.user, password: uri.password) Once the connection is established, the SFTP client object will be assigned to the instance variable require 'net/sftp'ĭef initialize(host, user, = passwordĭef ||= Net::SFTP::Session.new(ssh_session) In this post, we’ll be using an environment variable named SFTPTOGO_URL that contains all the information required to connect to an SFTP server in a URI format: The variable is parsed to extract the URI parts using URI.parse, and the remote server’s host key is verified by default using ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Or create a `Gemfile` file and declare your dependencies in it: gem 'net-sftp' When you are ready to install it, manually run: gem install net-sftp The `net-sftp` gem is required in order to connect and interact with an SFTP server in Ruby on Rails. Requirementsįirst things first, preparation. When setting up a connection with the server, there are just a few steps to complete, and by the end of this post, you’ll be able to do so standing on your head. SFTP is a commonly used standard and secure protocol, with the direct goal of safe file and data transfer. The following post will be dedicated to familiarizing our readers with writing Ruby on Rails code to connect and interact with SFTP servers.
