Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

SFTP Promise Wrapper for ssh2

Support basic SFTP transaction with promises, specifically for fronting SFTP with a web based API using something like Koa

Warning

By default each request will create a new conneciton and close it when finished, this is by design as its intended to be used in stateless web applications. As such care should exercised when using on high traffic systems to avoid too many connections to SFTP server and general connection overhead.

Usage

One connection per call

var config = {host: 'localhost', username: 'user', password: 'pass' };
var SFTPClient = require('sftp-promises');
var sftp = new SFTPClient(config);
     
sftp.ls('.').then(function(list) { console.log(list) })

Persistent Session calls (Experimental)

var config = {host: 'localhost', username: 'user', password: 'pass' };
var SFTPClient = require('sftp-promises');
var sftp = new SFTPClient();

// get session
var session = sftp.session(config).then(function(ftpSession) { session = ftpSession })
...code to ensure session is ready...  
sftp.ls('.', session).then(function(list) { console.log(list) })

// close socket
session.end()

config options are the same as ssh2 config options.

Supported calls

All calls take an optional ssh2 Connction object as the final arguement for using persistent session.

sftp.stat(<string>remote_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with on object containing path attributes
sftp.ls(<string>remote_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with an object descibing the path
sftp.getBuffer(<string>remote_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a buffer containing the file contents
sftp.putBuffer(<Buffer>data, <string>remote_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful
sftp.get(<string>remote_path, <string>local_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful
sftp.put(<string>local_path, <string>remote_path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful
sftp.rm(<string>location, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful
sftp.mv(<string>src, <string>dest, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful sftp.mkdir(<string>path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful sftp.rmdir(<string>path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if successful sftp.getStream(<string>path, writableStream, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true if stream write completed
sftp.putStream(<string>path, writableStream, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a boolean, true is stream write completed
sftp.createReadStream(<string>path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a readStream (ssh session will terminate on streams events close and error)
sftp.createWriteStream(<string>path, [ssh2.Connection]session) returns a promise with a writeStream (ssh session will terminate on streams events close and error)

ToDo

  • better testing of sessions
  • validate sftp session is actually a valid ssh session
  • mkdir recursive
  • rmdir recursive
  • ability to add options to be passed to underlying ssh2 connections
  • better documentation
