Is there an SFTP library for CodeIgniter?

Question

I know there is a default FTP Library Class, but it doesn't work with SFTP

Answer 1

Personally, I'd recommend phpseclib, a pure PHP SFTP implementation. It has no external dependancies, unlike the PHP ssh2 library extension Femi recommended and it's a ton more versatile than cURL.

Answer 2

If you download phpseclib, you can put it in the third_party folder and create a simple library using :

    set_include_path(APPPATH . '/third_party/phpsec');
require_once APPPATH."/third_party/phpsec/Net/SFTP.php"; 
class Sftp {  }

Which then it's just like all other libraries that you can use wherever in your Codeigniter app.

Answer 3

Take a look at http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/156139/. It uses the PHP ssh2 library extension (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-sftp.php, with the overview at http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php).

Or do it with cURL: previously mentioned at SFTP from within PHP.

But no, there is no CI class library that does SFTP.
