Dear R. Eric Wheeler,
I just can't get the first approach to work (ssh2_connect,
ssh2_auth_pubkey_file, ssh2_sftp, copy,
using either of these exact wrappers (6 is the ssh2_stfp resource):
ssh2.sftp://6/test.txt
or
ssh2.sftp://6/public_html/test.txt
With the test.txt file existing in both the document root and
public_html directories on the remote computer, the file_exists function
keeps returning false even though I added a call to clearstatcache. My
PHP.ini file has wrappers enabled and the SSH2 extension is installed.
And the copy function is even worse: it times out in the browser.
The second approach works successfully (ssh2_connect, ssh2_scp_send).
If you can't help me with with the first approach, I'll drop it. But I
would like to offer my readers both alternatives.
David
