I have been using the SFTP module in a Scheduled Script to successfully to upload files to a third party SFTP server, this works well. But I also need to download files and the problem is that these files have a timestamp in the file name. Because its a third party I can’t dictate the file name and the Netsuite SFTP module only seems to be able to download a file if you know the name. In other words there is no feature to request a directory listing on the remote server and hence determine what the file name is before you download it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I am wondering is the solution is to abandon the Netsuite SFTP module and use some custom code. I am guessing there are some Javascript libraries that implement an SFTP client that might work. Does anyone have any comments on this approach and what to watch out for? I am not sure how compatible the Netsuite javascript implementation used in Suitescript is with generic javascript libraries that are generally intended for client side use.

I still don’t have a good workaround for this and have resorted to downloading files manually. I am not returning to this problem to try and solve it. The only solution I can see at present is to create a script in another language (e.g. PHP) and call that from the Netsuite script so that it returns a list of files on the FTP server. Its an ugly solution but should work.

Anyone else encountered this problem and solved it? I guess all we can really do is make a feature request for the SFTP module.

Hi, I had a customer where this was solved.

Code was made by another person so i don’t have it, but i know that it is done and working.

Do you know if they achieved this using entirely Netsuite tools? I am hunting around to see if there is an add-on that might work. From what I can see its not possible to achieve this in standard Javascript and hence that is why the SFTP module is needed.
