This crate provides a set of APIs to access the remote filesystem using the sftp protocol and is implemented in pure Rust.

It supports sending multiple requests concurrently using WriteEnd (it can be WriteEnd::cloned), however receiving responses have to be done sequentially using ReadEnd::read_in_one_packet.

To create WriteEnd and ReadEnd, simply pass the stdin and stdout of the sftp-server launched at remote to connect.

This crate supports all operations supported by sftp v3, in additional to the following extensions:

• WriteEnd::send_limits_request
• WriteEnd::send_expand_path_request
• WriteEnd::send_fsync_request
• WriteEnd::send_hardlink_request
• WriteEnd::send_posix_rename_request
