Hi! We are using node-red to transfer files to another server via sftp. For that, we were using node-red-contrib-sftp (node) - Node-RED but this is now always only giving us "connecting" when we use the put function, without any debug or log output. (List and Get works) We then tried another node…

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? theophilusx/ssh2-sftp-client: a client for SSH2 SFTP (github.com)

I'm currently trying to use scp-promises - npm 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 H…

Try... const scp = scpPromises.CreateScpConnection(... If that doesn't work then try putting a node warn in there to figure out what is what... 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: const Client = nodeScp.Client; async function test() { try { const client = await Client({ host: 'hostname', port: 22, username: 'user', password: 'pw', // privateKey: fs.readFileSync…

Ok here is the working flow with dynamic paths: [ { "id": "7cfd133f7dc601d4", "type": "function", "z": "bf69329bcb962369", "name": "scp put 2", "func": "const Client = nodeScp.Client;\nconst remotepath = msg.remotepath;\nconst sourcepath = msg.sourcepath;…

[image] smitterer: console.log(e) If you want to see/catch errors in node-red, change the above to... node.error(e, msg)
