Answer 1

I have recently tried node-ftp and found that is has issues connecting to some newer servers. Particularly I had no ability to connect to a server version SSH-2.0-1.82_sshlib Globalscape

ssh2-sftp-client worked for me. Pass a debug:yourDebugFunction parameter in the connect options for good debugging output.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssh2-sftp-client

let sftp = new Client();
 
sftp.connect({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: '8080',
  username: 'username',
  password: '******'
}).then(() => {
  return sftp.list('/pathname');
}).then(data => {
  console.log(data, 'the data info');
}).catch(err => {
  console.log(err, 'catch error');
});```
