API

vsftp(options)

options.host

Required
Type: String

options.port

Type: Number
Default: 22

options.user

Type: String
Default: 'root'

options.pass

Type: String
Default: null

If this option is not set, gulp-vsftp assumes the user is using private key authentication and will default to using keys at the following locations:

~/.ssh/id_dsa and /.ssh/id_rsa

If you intend to use root login, use the value '@root'.

options.cleanFiles

Type: Boolean
Default: false If you set true, remote files will be delete(only suports linux now).

options.ignoreCleanPath

Type: String
Default: `` If options.cleanFiles is true and you set ignoreCleanPath(can't endwith /) ,this path will not delete.

options.remotePath

Type: String
Default: '/'

The remote path to upload to(must endwith /). If this path does not yet exist, it will be created, as well as the child directories that house your files.

options.remotePlatform

Type: String Default: 'unix'

The remote platform that you are uploading to. If your destination server is a Windows machine, use the value windows.

options.key

type String or Object Default: null

A key file location. If an object, please use the format {location:'/path/to/file',passphrase:'secretphrase'}

options.passphrase

type String Default: null

A passphrase for secret key authentication. Leave blank if your key does not need a passphrase.

options.keyContents

type String Default: null

If you wish to pass the key directly through gulp, you can do so by setting it to options.keyContents.

options.auth

type String Default: null

An identifier to access authentication information from .ftppass see Authentication for more information.

options.authFile

type String Default: .ftppass

A path relative to the project root to a JSON formatted file containing auth information.

options.timeout

type int Default: Currently set by ssh2 as 10000 milliseconds.

An integer in milliseconds specifying how long to wait for a server response.

options.agent

type String Default: null

Path to ssh-agent's UNIX socket for ssh-agent-based user authentication.

options.agentForward

type bool Default: false

Set to true to use OpenSSH agent forwarding. Requires that options.agent is configured.

options.callback

type function Default: null

Callback function to be called once the SFTP connection is closed.

Authentication

For better security, save authentication data in a json formatted file named .ftppass (or to whatever value you set options.authFile to). Be sure to add this file to .gitignore. You do not typically want auth information stored in version control.
