Use Example

To Download

var sftp        = new JJsftp("host", "user", "password"),
    localPath   = "String/Path/To/Place/The/Download"
    filelist    = [{
          remote    : "/Path/To/Remote/File.*"
        , local     : localPath+"file.*"
    },{
          remote    : "/Path/To/Another/Remote/File.*"
        , local     : localPath+"anotherFile.*"
    }];

    sftp.downloadList(filelist, function(data){
        /* Wow everything goes good, but just in case verify data.success */
    }, function(error){
        /* Wow something goes wrong, check the error.message */       
    });

To Upload is the same but calling upload or uploadList and by default will override a file if exists in server

Of course if you want, you could add any of the JJsftp events to document and listen the progress of the download by example

There is a big TODO list, but in resume

• Bug Resolve => * No Connection Break The App (Should The plugin warning the user or just don't do anything) * Only receive the absolute platfomr path (Without file://), should be replace in plugin don't force the user to replace it * Events just send a simple string object, need to be parse by user, should be the as many as need witouth the need to parse it
• Write a better documentation
• Propose new utils features (I think maybe in a fetch directory will be util) without lose the perspective of the plugin (Upload - Download via SFTP)
• Add iOS Support (Be Patient)
• Improve Uploading and Downloading feature
