Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers help uploading directories with SFTP Post 302295942 by zaxxon on Tuesday 10th of March 2009 03:23:36 AM

Afaik there is no way to recursively copy directories via sftp with the normal command line client.
So you might either do as suggested in that other thread, using for example gzip with the -r switch for recursive operation and gunzip to uncompress it. There are other compression tools like bzip2/bunzip2.
Not all of them have an option for operating recursively on directories so a common way is to tar them 1st, and then compress.

It implies of course that you have a possibility on the recipient side where you upload your data, to uncompress and/or un'tar there.

The most simple way might be a graphical interface like for example Servant Salamander which can use many different protocols including sftp (if this is an option for you). The advantage is that you dont have to worry about de-/compressing and stuff, since it just scans your local directory structure you want to submit and just creates it accordingly on the recipient side.

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants(3pm)

NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants - Constant definitions for Net::SFTP::Foreign SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw(:tag SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION); print "Protocol version is ", SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION; DESCRIPTION
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides a list of exportable SFTP constants: for SFTP messages and commands, for file-open flags, for status messages, etc. Constants can be exported individually, or in sets identified by tag names. Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides values for all of the constants listed in the SFTP protocol version 3 draft; the only thing to note is that the constants are listed with the prefix "SSH2_" instead of "SSH_". So, for example, to import the constant for the file-open command, you would write: use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw( SSH2_FXP_OPEN ); TAGS
As mentioned above, constants can either be imported individually or in sets grouped by tag names. The tag names are: :fxp Imports all of the "SSH2_FXP_*" constants: these are the constants used in the messaging protocol. :flags Imports all of the "SSH2_FXF_*" constants: these are constants used as flags sent to the server when opening files. :att Imports all of the "SSH2_FILEXFER_ATTR_*" constants: these are the constants used to construct the flag in the serialized attributes. The flag describes what types of file attributes are listed in the buffer. :status Imports all of the "SSH2_FX_*" constants: these are constants returned from a server "SSH2_FXP_STATUS" message and indicate the status of a particular operation. :error Imports all the "SFTP_ERR_*" constants used to represent high level errors: "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_ALREADY_EXISTS", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_CHMOD_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_OPEN_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_READ_ERROR", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_STAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_UTIME_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_WRITE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PACKET_SEQUENCE", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PERMISSIONS", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_TIME", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BLOCK_TOO_SMALL", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_CLOSE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSETSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_LSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_MKDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPENDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPEN_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READ_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REALPATH_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REMOVE_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RENAME_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RMDIR_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READLINK_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_SYMLINK_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_SETSTAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_STAT_FAILED", "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_WRITE_FAILED" and "SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_HARDLINK_FAILED". Note: these constants are not defined on the SFTP draft. :ext Import all the "SSH2_FXE_*" constants: there are the constants defined for usage with SFTP extensions. Currently, these are supported: "SSH2_FXE_STATVFS_ST_RDONLY", "SSH_FXE_STATVFS_ST_NOSUID". There is one constant that does not fit into any of the tag sets: "SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION", which holds the value of the SFTP protocol implemented by Net::SFTP::Foreign.
