node-red-contrib-sftpco

An SFTP client for node-red, wrapper for ssh2-sftp-client

Why anoher node for SFTP connection ?

The other watcher (wfwatcher) check recursively and attach filename to payload... Most of nodes who work with file check msg.filename.

So this plugin attach to msg :

• file : the name of the file, with extension
• filedir : Directory of file
• filename: the complete path to the file
• payload: the complete path to the file

On configuration side we can :

• Select the folder to watch (of course ....)
• Type event : create, update, delete
• Check for recursively or not
• ignore file who are in directory are start (or not)
• ignore files on regex based, only String !, not type the / for regextype (I.E. ^test.(txt|xls) not /^test.(txt|xls)/)
