In skgrange/threadr: Tools to Thread Pieces Of Data Analysis Together

Function to list files and directories on a remote system with scp (secure copy).

Description

list_files_scp offers an alternative to the curl based functions which can be troublesome to use with the sftp protocol on Ubuntu systems. download_with_scp needs the sshpass system programme to be installed.

Usage

list_files_scp(
  host,
  directory_remote,
  user,
  password,
  method = "scp",
  quiet_streams = FALSE
)

Arguments

host	Host name of remote system.
directory_remote	A remote directory to list files from.
user	User name for scp.
password	Password for the user for scp.
method	Either "scp" or "rsync". Using "rsync" can be useful when the remote server does not allow scp commands.
quiet_streams	Should the system streams be suppressed?

Value

Character vector.
