Overview of SFTP (key-based auth)#

The SFTP (key-based auth) app on Pipedream allows you to securely transfer and manage files over a network. It uses SSH for data transfer and provides the same level of security as SSH, without requiring password authentication, making automation workflows more secure and less prone to human error. You can automate file uploads, downloads, synchronization tasks, and efficiently manage your remote files in a serverless environment. Integrating this with other Pipedream-supported apps enables you to craft powerful and secure data flow systems.

Connect SFTP (key-based auth)#

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

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
