xftp

Unified interface for ftp/sftp. Protocol is selected by url scheme.

gem 'xftp'

or

$ gem install xftp

Basic example:

XFTP.start('sftp://hostname', credentials: { login: 'login', password: 'pass' }) do |x|
    x.chdir 'remote-src-path'
    x.mkdir 'new-remote-dir'
    x.rmdir 'dir-to-remove'

    x.each_file do |file|
        x.download file
        x.move file, to: File.join('remote-archive-path', file)
    end
end

Connection as anonymous with emtpy password, checking remote dir existence, globbing and getting StringIO's:

XFTP.start('ftp://hostname') do |x|
    x.mkdir 'some-dir' unless x.exist? 'some-dir'
    x.glob '*.csv' do |filename|
        io = x.get filename
    end
end

Example using each_io:

XFTP.start('sftp://hostname', credentials: { login: 'login', password: 'password' }) do |x|
    x.chdir 'some-dir'
    x.each_io do |filename, io|
        # do smth with it
    end
end

Without block argument (note that you shouldn't refer to local scope objects):

XFTP.start('sftp://hostname', credentials: credentials)
    chdir 'blahblah'
    each_file do |filename|
        download filename, to: File.join('local-dir', filename)
        move filename, to: File.join('remote-archive-path', filename)
    end
end
