Copy file?

[Migarl]

Hi!

I want to copy a file (.tgz) from my host to the server (scp isn't available).

I tried

final session = await client.execute("tar -zxf -");
session.write(filebytes);

but without success. I think the problem is that tar don't know when he should stop listening on stdin.

I got the same result with cat > file.tgz.

Is there a way to copy a file from host to remote without scp?

Thanks for your help!

In 2.4.0 a new field stdin is added to SSHSession, now it's possible to send data at full speed using streams:

final session = await client.execute('cat > file.txt');
await session.stdin.addStream(File('local_file.txt').openRead().cast());

and sending EOF to the remote process by closing the stdin sink:

await session.stdin.close(); // Closing the sink sends EOF to the remote process.
await session.done;
