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 Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
