Overview of SFTP (password-based auth)#

SFTP on Pipedream enables secure file management on remote servers directly from your workflows. Utilize this app to automate file uploads, downloads, and synchronization tasks between your systems and SFTP servers. Implement robust data pipelines or deploy content to web servers without manual intervention, all while maintaining a high level of security with password-based authentication.

Connect SFTP (password-based auth)#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    sftp_password_based_auth: {
      type: "app",
      app: "sftp_password_based_auth",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const Client = require('ssh2-sftp-client');
    
    const { 
      host,
      username,
      password,
    } = this.sftp_password_based_auth.$auth
    
    const config = {
      host,
      username,
      password,
    }
    
    const sftp = new Client()
    
    await sftp.connect(config)
    this.cwd = await sftp.cwd();
    return await sftp.end();
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
