Hi,  
I have installed xampp as a file server.  
I used the **List** method of `SFTP` node to see the file and directory information at **Remote Path** :

![sftp-node](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/d/b/dbcd5aafa25e3026c47c3f87f52ce73c6f4c7bf0.png)

In the **Method** list of this node, there are many other methods such as _Get_, _Put_, ...

I have investigated and tried config but don't work:

If you know how to use _Get_, _Put_ method of this node please let me know.  
Thanks!

as its an SFTP node I would google the generic command line sftp command and read up on that first.
