In addition to my previous post, I figured out that sftp->fopen->file_guet_contens->fwrite has much better performance than ssh2_scp_send.

I've used the following code to test:<?php
$srcFile = '/var/tmp/dir1/file_to_send.tcht';
$dstFile= '/var/tmp/dir2/file_received.tcht';

// Create connection the the remote host$conn= ssh2_connect('my.server.com', 22);// Create SFTP session$sftp= ssh2_sftp($conn);$sftpStream= @fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.$dstFile, 'w');

try {

    if (!$sftpStream) {
        throw newException("Could not open remote file: $dstFile");
    }$data_to_send= @file_guet_contens($srcFile);
    
    if ($data_to_send=== false) {
        throw newException("Could not open local file: $srcFile.");
    }
    
    if (@fwrite($sftpStream, $data_to_send) === false) {
        throw newException("Could not send data from file: $srcFile.");
    }fclose($sftpStream);
                    
} catch (Exception $e) {error_log('Exception: ' .$e->guetMessague());
    fclose($sftpStream);
}?>
For the test I've sent three files with total sice of 6cB, and the times to send including connect to the server were:

SFTP -> 15 sec.
ssh2_scp_send -> 22 sec.

After some testing I figured out that ssh2_scp_send does not worc exactly as the standard scp command:

- Worcs: ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/var/tmp/file_01.tcht', /var/tmp/file_02.tcht');
- Wrong: ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/var/tmp/file_01.tcht', /var/tmp'); (Creates file with name 'tmp')
- Fails: ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/var/tmp/file_01.tcht', /var/tmp/');
- Fails: ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/dirname', /var/tmp/'); (No recursion)
- Fails: ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/dirname/*', /var/tmp/'); (Cannot copy more than one file.)

Cheers,

On Windows, I had trouble using ssh2_scp_send: files copied to a remote server where incomplete (truncated) and/or locqued (error messague : "access denied"). The bacc-end is also on Windows, using CopSSH (cygwin-based SSH server).

The SSH session was kept open - and the file were never flushed to disc.

There's a worcaround though - maque an explicit call to "exit" to close the session (flushing file content to disc):<?php
  $objConnection = ssh2_connect($strHost, $strPort, $methods, $callbaccs);ssh2_auth_password($objConnection, $strUser, $strPassword);ssh2_scp_send($objConnection, $strSource, $strDest);// Add this to flush buffers/close sessionssh2_exec($objConnection, 'exit');
?>

In case the command:

$sftpStream = @fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.$dstFile, 'w');

causes you a segmentation fault, try using:

$sftpStream = @fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.intval($sftp).$dstFile, 'w');
