Re: Hoping for a working example of SFTP in PHP

Dear R. Eric Wheeler,

I just can't get the first approach to work (ssh2_connect, 
ssh2_auth_pubkey_file, ssh2_sftp, copy,

using either of these exact wrappers (6 is the ssh2_stfp resource):

ssh2.sftp://6/test.txt

or

ssh2.sftp://6/public_html/test.txt

With the test.txt file existing in both the document root and 
public_html directories on the remote computer, the file_exists function 
keeps returning false even though I added a call to clearstatcache. My 
PHP.ini file has wrappers enabled and the SSH2 extension is installed.

And the copy function is even worse: it times out in the browser.

The second approach works successfully (ssh2_connect, ssh2_scp_send).

If you can't help me with with the first approach, I'll drop it. But I 
would like to offer my readers both alternatives.
