Node.js connect to ftp and upload files
Hi i downloaded this npm module to connect to my ftp: node-ftps
connection class
var FTPS = require('ftps');
var ftps = new FTPS({
host: 'myhost',
username: 'user',
password: 'mypw',
protocol: 'ftp'
});
ftps.exec(function (err, res) {
console.log();
});
how can i check if the connection was successful and how can i get all files from my path?
tried adding a file but getting an error, i didn't even know if i was connected to it

I would advise you to try node-ftp
, which supports ftps
too. While node-ftps
doing the same job, it lacks good documentation and examples.
Checkout here.
https://github.com/mscdex/node-ftp
To set up a connection and access its functionality, all you have to do is load a named node wrapper ftp-client
that is designed exclusively for the module node-ftp
.
You can install this shell by running the following command:
npm install ftp-client
Use the following command to initialize:
var ftpClient = require('ftp-client'),
client = new ftpClient(config, options);
And here you can find a complete example code that tells how we can connect to the server and download all files from the directory at the same time test
, overwriting only the old files found on the server and download files from /public_html/test directory
.

Hope this helps!
