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 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
  },
})
