Net_SFTP_Stream

Registers this class as a URL wrapper.

The Constructor

Path Parser

Extract a path from a URI and actually connect to an SSH server if appropriate

If "notification" is set as a context parameter the message code for successful login is NET_SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS. For a failed login it's NET_SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE.

Opens file or URL

Read from stream

Write to stream

Retrieve the current position of a stream

Tests for end-of-file on a file pointer

In my testing there are four classes functions that normally effect the pointer: fseek, fputs / fwrite, fgets / fread and ftruncate.

Only fgets / fread, however, results in feof() returning true. do fputs($fp, 'aaa') on a blank file and feof() will return false. do fread($fp, 1) and feof() will then return true. do fseek($fp, 10) on ablank file and feof() will return false. do fread($fp, 1) and feof() will then return true.

Seeks to specific location in a stream

Advisory file locking

Renames a file or directory

Attempts to rename oldname to newname, moving it between directories if necessary. If newname exists, it will be overwritten. This is a departure from what Net_SFTP does.

Open directory handle

The only $options is "whether or not to enforce safe_mode (0x04)". Since safe mode was deprecated in 5.3 and removed in 5.4 I'm just going to ignore it.

Also, nlist() is the best that this function is realistically going to be able to do. When an SFTP client sends a SSH_FXP_READDIR packet you don't generally get info on just one file but on multiple files. Quoting the SFTP specs:

The SSH_FXP_NAME response has the following format:

   uint32     id
   uint32     count
   repeats count times:
           string     filename
           string     longname
           ATTRS      attrs

Read entry from directory handle

Rewind directory handle

Close directory handle

Create a directory

Only valid $options is STREAM_MKDIR_RECURSIVE

Removes a directory

Only valid $options is STREAM_MKDIR_RECURSIVE per http://php.net/streamwrapper.rmdir, however, http://php.net/rmdir does not have a $recursive parameter as mkdir() does so I don't know how STREAM_MKDIR_RECURSIVE is supposed to be set. Also, when I try it out with rmdir() I get 8 as $options. What does 8 correspond to?

Flushes the output

See http://php.net/fflush. Always returns true because Net_SFTP doesn't cache stuff before writing

Retrieve information about a file resource

Delete a file

Retrieve information about a file

Ignores the STREAM_URL_STAT_QUIET flag because the entirety of Net_SFTP_Stream is quiet by default might be worthwhile to reconstruct bits 12-16 (ie. the file type) if mode doesn't have them but we'll cross that bridge when and if it's reached

Truncate stream

Change stream options

STREAM_OPTION_WRITE_BUFFER isn't supported for the same reason stream_flush isn't. The other two aren't supported because of limitations in Net_SFTP.

Close an resource

__call Magic Method

When you're utilizing an SFTP stream you're not calling the methods in this class directly - PHP is calling them for you. Which kinda begs the question... what methods is PHP calling and what parameters is it passing to them? This function lets you figure that out.

If NET_SFTP_STREAM_LOGGING is defined all calls will be output on the screen and then (regardless of whether or not NET_SFTP_STREAM_LOGGING is enabled) the parameters will be passed through to the appropriate method.
