rights: {
    user:
    group:
    other:
},
owner: // user ID
group: // group ID

Get

get a new readable stream for path. The encoding is passed to Node Stream (https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html) and it controls how the content is encoded. For example, when downloading binary data, 'null' should be passed (check node stream documentation). Default to 'utf8'.

sftp.get(remoteFilePath, [useCompression], [encoding], [addtionalOptions]);

Put

upload a file from localPath or Buffer, Stream data to remoteFilePath.The encoding is passed to Node Stream to control how the content is encoded. Default to 'utf8'.

sftp.put(localFilePath, remoteFilePath, [useCompression], [encoding], [addtionalOptions]);
sftp.put(Buffer, remoteFilePath, [useCompression], [encoding], [addtionalOptions]);
sftp.put(Stream, remoteFilePath, [useCompression], [encoding], [addtionalOptions]);

Mkdir

create a new directory.

// recursive default is false, if true, it will create directory recursive
sftp.mkdir(remoteFilePath, recursive);

Rmdir

remove the directory or file.

// recursive default is false, if true, it will remove directory recursive even if is not empty
sftp.rmdir(localPath, recursive);

Delete

Rename

sftp.rename(remoteSourcePath, remoteDestPath);
