Remote what ?
=============

[](#remote-what-)

I have for a time been working with FTP and SFTP and was frustrated that I needed to remember the differences between them. So I built this (With help from [phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib)).

It is object oriented, Unittested with 100% code coverage.

These are the methods implemented so far.

```
public function chdir($directory);
public function chmod($mode, $filename);
public function close();
public function delete($path);
public function get($remote_file, $local_file);
public function put($local_file, $remote_file);
public function isConnected();
public function mkdir($dir, $recursive = false);
public function nlist($dir = '.');
public function pwd();
public function rawlist($dir = '.');
public function readDir($dir = '.');
public function rename($oldName, $newName);
public function rmdir($path);
public function size($filename);
public function stat($filename);

```

As soon as I am happy with what I have built I will put the code up on [packagist.org](http://packagist.org)

\##Installation I am using composer and have not built my own autoload so it is dependent on composer right now.

In composer.json add

```
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/Mahlstrom/Remote.git"
        }
    ]
}
```

and

```
{
    "require": {
        "mahlstrom/remote": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

That's all folks!

Good luck, have fun!
