A Go library providing SFTP client and server support on top of go.crypto/ssh. It enables file system operations on remote SSH servers and serving files via the SFTP subsystem.

Use cases

  • transfer files over sftp in go
  • implement an sftp server in go
  • read and write files on a remote ssh server
  • walk remote directories over sftp
  • add sftp support to a go application

When to choose

  • you need SFTP client or server functionality in a Go program
  • you want an os-package-like API for remote file operations over SSH

When to avoid

  • you need general-purpose SSH tooling beyond SFTP
  • you are not working in Go
