NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract - Secure FTP client integrating Path::Class, Tempdir, and Archive Extraction
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract->new(
host => $host,
user => $user,
match => qr/\.zip\Z/,
backup => './backup', #default is not to backup
delete => 1, #default is not to delete
);
my $file = $sftp->next;
DESCRIPTION
Secure FTP client which downloads files locally to a temp directory for operations and automatically cleans up all temp files after variables are out of scope.
This package assume SSH keys are correctly installed on local account and remote server.
USAGE
File Downloader
This is a simple file downloader implementation
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract->new(host=>$remote_host, user=>$remote_user);
my $file = $sftp->download($remote_folder, $remote_filename);
File Watcher
This is a simple file watcher implementation
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract->new(
host=>'remote_server',
user=>'remote_account',
match=>qr/\.zip\Z/,
folder=>'/remote_folder'
);
my $file = $sftp->next or exit; #nothing to process so exit
print "$file"; #process file here
Subclass
This is a typical subclass implementation for a particular infrastructure
{
package My::SFTP;
use base qw{Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract};
sub host {'remote_server.domain.tld'};
sub folder {'/remote_folder'};
sub match {qr/\.zip\Z/};
sub backup {time};
1;
}
my $sftp = My::SFTP->new;
while (my $file = $sftp->next) {
printf "File %s is a %s\n", "$file", ref($file);
}
Which outputs something like this.
File /tmp/hwY9jVeYo3/file1.zip is a Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract::File
File /tmp/ytWaYdPXuD/file2.zip is a Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract::File
File /tmp/JrsrkleBOy/file3.zip is a Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract::File
CONSTRUCTOR
new
METHODS
download
Downloads the named file in the folder.
my $file = $sftp->download('remote_file.zip'); #isa Net::SFTP::Foreign::Tempdir::Extract::File
my $file = $sftp->download('/remote_folder', 'remote_file.zip'); # which isa Path::Class::File object with an extract method
next
Downloads the next file in list and saves it locally to a temporary folder. Returns a Path::Class::File object or undef if there are no more files.
my $file = $sftp->next or exit; #get file or exit
while (my $file = $sftp->next) {
print "$file";
}
list
Returns list of filenames remaining to be processed that match the folder and regular expression
Note: List is shifted for each call to next method
upload
Uploads file to the folder and returns the count of uploaded files.
$sftp->folder("/remote_folder"); #or set on construction
$sftp->upload('local_file.zip');
$sftp->upload('local_file1.zip', 'local_file2.zip');
The upload method is a simple wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign->mput that is parallel to download.
PROPERTIES
host
SFTP server host name.
$sftp->host(""); #default
user
SFTP user name (defaults to current user)
$sftp->user(undef); #default
port
SFTP port number (defaults to undef not passed through)
$sftp->port(undef); #default
options
SSH options passed to the more property of Net::SFTP::Foreign as an array reference.
$sftp->options(['-q']); #default
$sftp->options([]); #no options
$sftp->options(['-v']); #verbose
folder
Folder on remote SFTP server.
$sftp->folder("/home/user/download");
Note: Some SFTP servers put clients in a change rooted environment.
match
Regular Expression to match file names for the next iterator
$sftp->match(qr/\Aremote_file\.zip\Z/); #exact file
$sftp->match(qr/\.zip\Z/); #any zip file
$sftp->match(undef); #reset to default - all files
backup
Sets or returns the backup folder property.
$sftp->backup(""); #don't backup
$sftp->backup("./folder"); #backup to folder
Note: If configured, backup overrides delete option.
delete
Sets or returns the delete boolean property.
$sftp->delete(0); #don't delete
$sftp->delete(1); #delete after downloaded
Note: Ineffective when backup option is configured.
OBJECT ACCESSORS
sftp
Returns a cached connected Net::SFTP::Foreign object

Testing
This packages relies on the SSH keys to be operational for the local account. To test your SSH keys from the command line type `sftp user@server`. If this command prompts the user for a password, then your SSH keys are not installed correctly. You cannot reliably test with `ssh user@server` as the remote administrator may have disabled the terminal service over SSH.
