sftp-fs-kt

Description

sftp-fs is intended to allow for easy implementation of a SFTP server where the server file system can be anything. You can implement an ordinary file system as is done in FileSystem.js. But for any other type of filesystem-like backends you can just extend the FileSystemInterface class and do something cool.

Technical stuff

Is built ontop of ssh2 as most SSH stuff in node.js is. I have elected to use yarn for this project but using npm will work just as well.

Running tests

# Install dependencies
$ yarn
...

# Run eslint tests
$ yarn lint
...

# Run unit tests
$ yarn test
...

Examples

Starting the standard file serving SFTP server

# Install dependencies
$ yarn
...

# Start server (Note: Can take arguments, check the code)
# Default password is 'SuPerSeCrReT'
$ yarn server
...

Implementing the FileSystemInterface

"use strict";

const { FileSystemInterface, Server } = require("sftp-fs");

class MyFS extends FileSystemInterface {
    // TODO: Implement the methods that are needed
}

const keyFile = "./id_rsa";
const port = 8022;
const server = new Server(new MyFS());

process.on("SIGINT", () => server.stop());

const run = async () => {
    server.on("client-connected", () => console.log("Client connected!"));
    server.on("client-disconnected", () => console.log("Client disconnected!"));
    server.on("error", (error) => console.error(error));

    await server.start(keyFile, port);
};

run();
