Using the SFTP object from SSH2












1















I'm using SSH2 to get and put files on a server via SFTP. I don't understand how to read or use this documentation though. I understand that there is an sftp object that is returned using the following method conn.sftp(function(err, sftp). However, I'm not sure what this sftp actually is or how I can even see what methods it has. The documentation doesn't seem to offer anything for that.



Looking through other places, I see that there is supposedly a fastPut method among other methods.



How can I see what methods is on this SFTP object if the documentation doesn't provide that? If the documentation does provide it, where would that be?

          The Client.sftp method returns SFTPStream instance.



          SFTPStream has fastPut method:




          fastPut(< string >localPath, < string >remotePath[, < object >options], < function >callback) - (void)
