SFTPloy

A simple (CLI) tool to deploy stuff via SFTP

(Check out ftploy for FTP deployments.)

Usage

npm install --save-dev sftploy

var sftploy = require('sftploy');
 
sftploy({
  username: 'john',
  password: 'abc123',
  privateKey: './id_rsa'
  host: 'example.com',
  port: 22,
  localRoot: './build',
  remoteRoot: '/www/example.com/'
  exclude: [
    '.git'
  ]
}).then(function () {
  console.log('Deployment successful.');
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.error('Deployment failed.', error);
});

CLI

npm install -g sftploy

$ sftploy

The following options may be stored within a sftploy.json file in the root of your project or passed as parameters or environment variables (prefixed using sftploy_). For example, your username and password may be provided in the following three ways.

sftploy.json file

{
  "username": "john",
  "password": "abc123"
}

Parameters

$ sftploy --username="john" --password="abc123"

Environment variables

$ SFTPLOY_USERNAME="john" SFTPLOY_PASSWORD="abc123" sftploy

Options

username

The SFTP username.

password

The SFTP password. In case no password is provided, the CLI will prompt you for it.

privateKey

The SSH private key.

host

The SFTP host.

port

The SFTP port.

Default: 22

files

An array of files or a glob pattern to select files to upload.

Default: **/* (= glob pattern for all files and directories within the provided localRoot; see below)

localRoot

The local directory whose contents SFTPloy will upload.

Default: process.cwd() (= the directory you’re running the CLI in)

remoteRoot

The remote directory where SFTPloy will upload the contents to.

Default: /

exclude

Certain files (matching the respective glob patterns) that shall be ignored by SFTPloy. In most cases, you may want to exclude your .git directory or directories like node_modules.

If you’re using an array of files instead of an glob pattern within the files option, exclude will be ignored.

Examples

$ sftploy --exclude=*.jpg --exclude=*.png --exclude=node_modules/**/*

{
  "exclude": [
    "*.jpg",
    "*.png"
  ]
}
