# scp2

A pure javascript secure copy program based on ssh2.
Project Home: https://github.com/lepture/node-scp2

-----

scp2 is greatly powered by [ssh2](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2), implemented the `scp` in a `sftp` way.

It is written in pure javascript, and should work on every OS, even Windows. Nodejs (v0.8.7 or newer) is required to make it work.


## Install

You can either use it as a library, or a program. For Windows users who miss scp on unix/linux world, you can get the command line now:

$ npm install scp2 -g
This is Just a Fork From Version 0.2.2 on 2016/03/21 to add the method testConnection on Client.js

You will get a command line tool `scp2`, and let's try:

$ scp2 -h

Get the development version from ninja channel:

$ npm install scp2@ninja


## High level API
Pull request created.

-----

Get the client:
### testConnection

```js
var client = require('scp2')
```

Copy a file to the server:

```js
client.scp('file.txt', 'admin:[email protected]:/home/admin/', function(err) {
})
```

Copy a file to the server in another way:

```js
client.scp('file.txt', {
host: 'example.com',
username: 'admin',
password: 'password',
path: '/home/admin/'
}, function(err) {})
```

Copy a file to the server and rename it:

```js
client.scp('file.txt', 'admin:[email protected]:/home/admin/rename.txt', function(err) {
})
```

Copy a directory to the server:

```js
client.scp('data/', 'admin:[email protected]:/home/admin/data/', function(err) {
})
```

Copy via glob pattern:

```js
client.scp('data/*.js', 'admin:[email protected]:/home/admin/data/', function(err) {
})
```

Download a file from server:

```js
client.scp('admin:[email protected]:/home/admin/file.txt', './', function(err) {
})
```

Download a file from server in another way:

```js
client.scp({
host: 'example.com',
username: 'admin',
password: 'password',
path: '/home/admin/file.txt'
}, './', function(err) {})
```

**TODO**: download via glob pattern.


## Low level API

Get the client:

```js
var Client = require('scp2').Client;
```

The high level client is an instance of `Client`, but it contains the high level API `scp`.

### Methods


- **defaults** `function({})`

set the default values for the remote server.

```js
client.defaults({
port: 22,
host: 'example.com',
username: 'admin',
privateKey: '....',
// password: 'password', (accepts password also)
});
```

You can also initialize the instance with these values:

```js
var client = new Client({
port: 22
});
```

More on the values at [ssh2](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2).


- **sftp** `function(callback) -> callback(err, sftp)`

Get the sftp.

- **close** `function()`

Close all sessions.

- **mkdir** `function(dir, [attr], callback) -> callback(err)`

Make a directory on the remote server. It behaves like `mdkir -p`.

- **write** `function(options, callback) -> callback(err)`

Write content on the remote server.

```js
client.write({
destination: '/home/admin/data/file.txt',
content: 'hello world'
}, callback)
```

The options can contain:

- destination
- content: string or buffer
- attrs
- source: the source path, e.g. local/file.txt

- **upload** `function(src, dest, callback) -> callback(err)`

upload a local file to the server.

```js
client.upload('file.txt', '/home/admin/file.txt', callback)
```

- **download** `function(src, dest, callback) -> callback(err)`

download a server file to local.


## Events

You can listen on these events:

- connect
- ready
- error (err)
- end
- close
- mkdir (dir)
- write (object)
- read (src)
- transfer (buffer, uploaded, total)

Why not use sftp directly?

That was what I actually did after. But I stay think this method would be useful.

var self = this;
self.sftp(function(err, sftp) {
callback(err, err === undefined || err === null || err === false);
self.close();
});
};

exports = module.exports = new Client();
exports.Client = Client;
