Question

I’m using phpseclib – SFTP class and am trying to upload a file like so –

$sftp = new Net_SFTP('mydomain.com');
if (!$sftp->login('user', 'password')) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}
$sftp->put('/some-dir/',$fileTempName);

The file however isn’t being uploaded inside some-dir but is uploaded one directory before (to the starting directory, lets say it’s root). This is driving me crazy, I think I’ve tried all combinations of some-dir/ or /some-dir or /some-dir/, but the file won’t upload there.

I don’t think your put is doing what you think it is doing. According to the docs, you need to do a Net_SFTP::chdir('/some-dir/') to switch to the directory you want to send file to, then put($remote_file, $data), where remote_file is the name of file, and $data is the actual file data.

Example Code:

<?php
include('Net/SFTP.php');

$sftp = new Net_SFTP('www.domain.tld');
if (!$sftp->login('username', 'password')) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

echo $sftp->pwd() . "\r\n";
$sftp->put('filename.ext', 'hello, world!');
print_r($sftp->nlist());
?>
