Uploading files with SFTP

Question

I have successfully uploaded files over ftp, but I now need to do via SFTP. I can successfully connect to the remote server, create a file and write to it, but I am unable to upload an existing file from my local server to the remote server. Is ftp_put not firing with an sftp connection?

My code used to write a file :

//Send file via sftp to server  $strServer = "*****"; $strServerPort = "****"; $strServerUsername = "*****"; $strServerPassword = "*****"; $csv_filename = "Test_File.csv";  //connect to server $resConnection = ssh2_connect($strServer, $strServerPort);  if(ssh2_auth_password($resConnection, $strServerUsername, $strServerPassword)){     //Initialize SFTP subsystem      echo "connected";     $resSFTP = ssh2_sftp($resConnection);          $resFile = fopen("ssh2.sftp://{$resSFTP}/".$csv_filename, 'w');     fwrite($resFile, "Testing");     fclose($resFile);                     }else{     echo "Unable to authenticate on server"; } 

Has anyone had any success in grabbing a local file and uploading via a method such as above with sftp? An example would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

With the method above (involving sftp) you can use stream_copy_to_stream:

$resFile = fopen("ssh2.sftp://{$resSFTP}/".$csv_filename, 'w'); $srcFile = fopen("/home/myusername/".$csv_filename, 'r'); $writtenBytes = stream_copy_to_stream($srcFile, $resFile); fclose($resFile); fclose($srcFile); 

You can also try using ssh2_scp_send
