```
As both nodes are not working: might this be connected to any dependency which both nodes are using but which is not working or any linux problem?
The admin of the server where we want to put files on via ssh says that neither our user, nor the ip of the server where node red runs on is blocked.
With the same credentials, we are able to login using filezilla / putty or other programs.
Thanks!

I had the same problem [here,](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/sftp-keeps-crashing-nr/66593) no solution found yet.

That node is VERY old. It references v2 of the support library - the current is v9!
So no great surprises that it isn't working I'm afraid.
You could try referencing the support library directly in a function node perhaps?

I'm currently trying to use [scp-promises - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/scp-promises) in a function node but had no success yet.
The node-sample imports CreateScpConnection from scp-promises but I wasn't able to do so in the node. (`import { CreateScpConnection } from 'scp-promises'`)
I'm currently trying around with similar codes from [How to make PDF from HTML - #4 by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-make-pdf-from-html/67688/4) and [Useage of contrib-npm - #6 by bakman2](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/useage-of-contrib-npm/67449/6) provided by @Steve-Mcl and @bakman2 (things like `const { scpPromises } = new CreateScpConnection("");`) and so on instead of using "import".
Also, I need to find a way to set the path and filename based on msgs.

Try...
```auto
const scp = scpPromises.CreateScpConnection(...
```
If that doesn't work then try putting a node warn in there to figure out what is what...
```auto
node.warn({scpPromises})
```
Note: I am assuming you have named the npm import on the setup tab as `scpPromises`

Thanks!
With scp-promises it didn't work, but it seems to work with node-scp:
```auto
const Client = nodeScp.Client;
async function test() {
try {
const client = await Client({
host: 'hostname',
port: 22,
username: 'user',
password: 'pw',
// privateKey: fs.readFileSync('./key.pem'),
// passphrase: 'your key passphrase',
})
await client.uploadFile(
'/sourcefile.csv',
'/destinationfile.csv',
// options?: TransferOptions
)
// you can perform upload multiple times
//await client.uploadFile('./test1.txt', '/workspace/test1.txt')
client.close() // remember to close connection after you finish
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
}
}
test()
return msg;
```
I will now try to dynamically set sourcefile and destinationfile.

If you want to see/catch errors in node-red, change the above to...
```auto
node.error(e, msg)
```
