Is the run method supposed to work with SFTP?

[ewstefan]

I can retrieve files from my sftp via. This works:

$contents = SSH::into('my_sftp')->getString('filename.csv');

However, I can't get the run method to work:

$commands = ['ls'];

SSH::into('my_sftp')->run($commands, function($line)
{
// this callback is never called
 echo $line.PHP_EOL;
 });

Furthermore, status is always === false, in both cases above.

$status = SSH::into('banz_sftp')->status();

Thanks for any pointer or help!

I've found a workaround.

The underlying SFTP class can be accessed, which provides all sorts of filesystem functionality, such as nlist:

$remote = SSH::into('my_sftp');
$connection = $remote->getGateway()->getConnection();
$list = $connection->nlist('*.zip');

It should be supported. Have you tried assigning the output of the run command to a variable (e.g. $output = SSH::into('my_sftp')->run('ls');)? I see that the underlying library doesn't call the callback in some cases.

@stidges : Thanks for getting back.

I have not tried your suggestion, as I decided to go with league/flysystem-sftp.
