PHP download from remote server via sftp

Question

This may have been asked before, I\'m new to PHP and I\'m trying to learn as much as I can, but this has really thrown me.

Basically what I want to know is, how would I

Answer 1

Here is a small code on how to read the folder and download all its files:

You can also resume this code to (it will not copy directories):

while (false !== ($file = readdir($dirHandle)))
{
    if ($file == "." || $file == "..")
        continue;

    echo "Copying file: $file\n";
    if(!ssh2_scp_recv($connection, $remoteDir . $file, $localDir . $file))
        echo "Could not download: ", $remoteDir, $file, "\n";
}

If you do not use the full path on the remote folder it will not work:

opendir("ssh2.sftp://{$stream}{$remoteDir}")
