daanwilson/php-sftp-client
==========================

[](#daanwilsonphp-sftp-client)

A SFTP extension for the library of Nicolab/php-ftp-client. This lib provides helpers easy to use to manage the remote files through SFTP. When you want to use this library/extension, be sure that OpenSSL and ssh2\_connect is enabled on the server. Else it will throw an error when you want to connect to a server through SFTP. Most FTP functions are also compatible with SFTP.

Install
-------

[](#install)

- Install package with composer

```
composer require daanwilson/php-sftp-client

```

- Or use GIT clone command:

```
git clone git@github.com:daanwilson/php-sftp-client.git

```

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Connect to a server SFTP (on port 22 or another port) :

```
$ftp = new \SfpClient\SftpClient();
$ftp->connect($host, true, 22);
$ftp->login($login, $password);
```

Note: The connection is implicitly closed at the end of script execution (when the object is destroyed). Therefore it is unnecessary to call `$ftp->close()`, except for an explicit re-connection.

API doc
