File Listing from remote to loca directory using SFTP
Hello,
Using ftp i was able to get a directory listing to local directory.
Code:
ftp - i <host_name>
ftp <user>
ftp <password>
dir <dir>
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
-rw-rw-r-- 1 <uuu> <kkk> 160384 Apr 13 19:38 walmart.txt
226 Transfer complete
ftp> lcd <local_dir>
ftp> dir walgreens.txt lcd
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
226 Transfer complete
ftp> bye
Can someone please tell mw how do I achieve the same using sftp.
The provider changed to sftp from ftp. the above commands do not work when I tried after connecting using sftp to get directory listing to local dir to know when the files were actually dropped.
Thanks
Pavan

The following command also shows the files but I only want to see the directories.
