Parent: | Object |
A convenience class for working with remote directories. It provides methods for searching and enumerating directory entries, similarly to the standard ::Dir class.
sftp.dir.foreach("/remote/path") do |entry| puts entry.name end p sftp.dir.entries("/remote/path").map { |e| e.name } sftp.dir.glob("/remote/path", "**/*.rb") do |entry| puts entry.name end
sftp | [R] | The SFTP session object that drives this directory factory. |
Calls the block once for each entry in the named directory on the remote server. Yields a Name object to the block, rather than merely the name of the entry.
Works as ::Dir.glob, matching (possibly recursively) all directory entries under path against pattern. If a block is given, matches will be yielded to the block as they are found; otherwise, they will be returned in an array when the method finishes.
Because working over an SFTP connection is always going to be slower than working purely locally, don‘t expect this method to perform with the same level of alacrity that ::Dir.glob does; it will work best for shallow directory hierarchies with relatively few directories, though it should be able to handle modest numbers of files in each directory.
