-### Error Event Handling
-Providing a clean Promise API for the SSH2 to manage basic SFTP functionality
-presents a couple of challenges for managing errors. The `SSH2` module uses
-events to communicate various state changes and error conditions. These
-events can fire at any time.
-On the client side, we wrap basic SFTP actions in Javascript Promises,
-allowing clients to use either the standard Promise API or async/await to
-model SFTP interactions. Creating an SFTP connection returns a promise, which
-resolves if a connection is successfully established and is rejected
-otherwise. Downloading a file using `get()` or `fastGet()` generates a new
-Promise which is either resolved, indicating file has been successfully
-downloaded or rejected, indicating the download failed. All pretty
-straight-forward.
-When the Promise is created, an error event handler is added to the SFTP
-object to catch any errors that fire during the execution of the promise. If
-an error event fires, the Promise is rejected and the error returned to the
-client as part of the rejection. After the Promise has resolved or rejected,
-the error listener is removed (the error listener is specific to each promise
-because it needs to call the reject method associated with that promise). As
-a promise can only be resolved or rejected once, after the Promise has
-completed, the error listener is of no further use.
-This all works fine when an error event fires during the execution of a
-Promise. However, what about outside promise execution? Consider the
-following flow;
+Providing a clean Promise API for the SSH2 to manage basic SFTP functionality presents a couple of challenges for managing errors. The `SSH2` module uses events to communicate various state changes and error conditions. These events can fire at any time.
-1.  You have an active SFTP connection which you use to download a file
-2.  When you make the download request, a new Promise is created which will
-    resolve when the file is downloaded or be rejected if the download fails
-    for some reason. The promise resolves successfully.
-3.  You start processing the data downloaded. At this point, you still have an
-    open connection to the SFTP server, but you are not actively interacting
-    with it. There is no active Promise in play.
-4.  The remote SFTP server resets the connection for some reason, generating a
-    ECONNRESET error that is emitted as an error event.
-What happens at this point? There is no active promise executing, so no
-Promise specific error handler in play. Your script is off processing the
-data from the previously downloaded file, so there is no currently executing
-try/catch block around the SFTP client object. Basically, there is nothing
-listening of any errors at this point. What will happen?
-Well, basically, the error event will bubble up to the top level of the node
-process context and cause an uncaughtException error, display the error and
-dump a stack trace and cause the node process to exit. In basic terms, your
-process will crash. Not a great outcome.
-There are a number of things we can do to improve the situation. However,
-nearly all of them have some drawbacks. We could -
--   Add our own error handler. The `client.on()` method would allow you to add
-    your own error handler. This would provide a way to manage error events,
-    but you want to make sure you only handle error events not handled already
-    by the Promise error handlers. Worse yet, you cannot know before hand the
-    processing context of your script at the point the error event fires. This
-    means your error handling is likely to be complex and difficult to
-    manage. Worse yet, these types of errors are quite rare in most situations
-    and your now being required to add significant additional complexity to
-    deal with a rare edge case. However, sometimes, you just need to deal with
-    this sort of complexity and the `client.on()` method does give you that
-    option.
--   Another alternative is to just add an uncaughtException handler to your Node
-    process object. This would also prevent node from dumping the error and
-    exiting abruptly. However, now you need to think about ALL the possible
-    uncaughtExceptions which might happen, not just those associated with the
-    SFTP client. Again, things are getting complicated for something which only
-    occurs occasionally.  .
-What we really want is a solution which will be simple for the majority of
-clients, but provide additional power when needed. What we have done is add a
-default error handler which will only take action if no Promise error handler
-has fired. All the default error handler does is log the error to
-console.error() and set the SFTP connection to undefined so that any further
-attempts to use the connection will throw an error inside the Promise which
-attempts to use it.
-The advantage of this approach is that it stops the abrupt exiting of the
-node script due to an uncaught exception error and provides a reasonable
-outcome for most use cases. For example, in the scenario outlined above, if
-an error event fires while your script is processing the data already
-downloaded, it will not impact on your script immediately. An error will be
-logged to console.error(), but your script will continue to run. Once you
-have completed processing your data, if you attempt another SFTP call, it
-will fail with an error about no available SFTP connections. As this will
-occur within the context of interacting with the SFTP server, your script can
-take appropriate action to resolve the issue (such as re-connecting to the
-server). On the other hand, if after processing the file your done and just

-<a id="org8e4dbfb"></a>
-### Technical Details
-The event handlers added by each Promise are added using the `prependListener()`
-function. This ensures the handler is fired before any other error handlers
-which may be defined. As part of the processing, these error handler set a flag
-property `this.errorHandled` to true, indicating the error has been handled.
-In addition to the Promise error handlers, there is a default error handler
-which will fire after any Promise error handler. The default error handler looks
-to see if the `this.errorHandler` flag is true. If it is, it knows the error has
-been handled and it just resets it to false, taking no other action (so taht we
-are ready for the next error). If the flag is false, the default handler knows
-it must handle the error. In this case, the handler will log the error to
-`console.error()`, will set the SFTP connection to undefined to prevent any
-further attempts to use it and finally, ensure the `this.errorHandler` flag is
-reset to false in preparation for the next error.

-## New Methods
--   Added the method uploadDir(). This method will upload a directory
-    (including any subdirectories) to the remote server. Only directories and
-    regular files are uploaded (no symbolic links, FIFOs, socket FDs etc). Will
-    overwrite existing files or directories, but will not delete any remote
-    files or directories.
--   Added the method downloadDir(). This method will download a directory
-    (including any subdirectories) to the local file system. Only directories
-    and regular files are downloaded (no symbolic links, FIFOs, socket FDs
-    etc).. Will overwrite existing files or directories, but will not delete
-    any local files in the directories.
--   Added the method posixRename(). This method will use the POSIX atomic
-    rename openSSH extension. As this is an extension to the SFTP protocol, not
-    all servers will support this operation.
-<a id="org5cf9acc"></a>
-## Version 5.0.1
--   The error checking was a little too stringent. The use of exist() to test
-    for file types had a problem when the user does not have read/execute
-    rights on the directory. Replaced with stat() method, which should avoid
-    this issue.
-<a id="org8bbba9f"></a>
-## Version 5.0.2
+On the client side, we wrap basic SFTP actions in Javascript Promises, allowing clients to use either the standard Promise API or async/await to model SFTP interactions. Creating an SFTP connection returns a promise, which resolves if a connection is successfully established and is rejected otherwise. Downloading a file using `get()` or `fastGet()` generates a new Promise which is either resolved, indicating file has been successfully downloaded or rejected, indicating the download failed. All pretty straight-forward.
--   Fix error in local directory tests due to missing await statement.
--   Fix path handling under win32. Paths were not being parsed correctly due to
-    the use of path.posix.parse() instead of path.parse().
+When the Promise is created, an error event handler is added to the SFTP object to catch any errors that fire during the execution of the promise. If an error event fires, the Promise is rejected and the error returned to the client as part of the rejection. After the Promise has resolved or rejected, the error listener is removed (the error listener is specific to each promise because it needs to call the reject method associated with that promise). As a promise can only be resolved or rejected once, after the Promise has completed, the error listener is of no further use.
+This all works fine when an error event fires during the execution of a Promise. However, what about outside promise execution? Consider the following flow;
-<a id="org60ab99e"></a>
+1.  You have an active SFTP connection which you use to download a file
+2.  When you make the download request, a new Promise is created which will resolve when the file is downloaded or be rejected if the download fails for some reason. The promise resolves successfully.
+3.  You start processing the data downloaded. At this point, you still have an open connection to the SFTP server, but you are not actively interacting with it. There is no active Promise in play.
+4.  The remote SFTP server resets the connection for some reason, generating a ECONNRESET error that is emitted as an error event.
-## Version 5.1.0
+What happens at this point? There is no active promise executing, so no Promise specific error handler in play. Your script is off processing the data from the previously downloaded file, so there is no currently executing try/catch block around the SFTP client object. Basically, there is nothing listening of any errors at this point. What will happen?
--   Add missing connection check in end() method
--   Add debugging support. Now adding a debug property to the connection
-    configuration object will enable debugging. The value of the debug property
-    should be a function which accepts a single string argument. Typically,
-    this function will send the value passed in to stderr or a file.
--   Fix bug in checkRemotePath() relating to poor path specifications where
-    you cannot determine parent directory.
+Well, basically, the error event will bubble up to the top level of the node process context and cause an uncaughtException error, display the error and dump a stack trace and cause the node process to exit. In basic terms, your process will crash. Not a great outcome.
+There are a number of things we can do to improve the situation. However, nearly all of them have some drawbacks. We could -
-<a id="org55b82ed"></a>
+-   Add our own error handler. The `client.on()` method would allow you to add your own error handler. This would provide a way to manage error events, but you want to make sure you only handle error events not handled already by the Promise error handlers. Worse yet, you cannot know before hand the processing context of your script at the point the error event fires. This means your error handling is likely to be complex and difficult to manage. Worse yet, these types of errors are quite rare in most situations and your now being required to add significant additional complexity to deal with a rare edge case. However, sometimes, you just need to deal with this sort of complexity and the `client.on()` method does give you that option.
+-   Another alternative is to just add an uncaughtException handler to your Node process object. This would also prevent node from dumping the error and exiting abruptly. However, now you need to think about ALL the possible uncaughtExceptions which might happen, not just those associated with the SFTP client. Again, things are getting complicated for something which only occurs occasionally. .
-## Version 5.1.1
+What we really want is a solution which will be simple for the majority of clients, but provide additional power when needed. What we have done is add a default error handler which will only take action if no Promise error handler has fired. All the default error handler does is log the error to console.error() and set the SFTP connection to undefined so that any further attempts to use the connection will throw an error inside the Promise which attempts to use it.
--   Bug fix for unexpected close of connections. It would seem that a
-    connections can be unexpectedly closed without an accompanying error event.
-    As methods only looked for error events, the method promise wold never
-    fulfil and the method would appear to hang. Have now added close event
-    handlers to each method that will reject the promise if the connection is
-    closed unexpectedly.
--   Missing return statement in connect method would result in the connect
-    method attempting to re-connect again after it had reached maximum connect
-    retries. Added the missing return statement.
--   Added some more troubleshooting documentation. Numerous issues have been
-    raised that turn out to be due to client code failing to return Promises
-    inside promise chains. Common symptom is what appears to be truncated file
-    upload/download. What is really happening is that the end method is being
-    called before the transfer has completed.
+The advantage of this approach is that it stops the abrupt exiting of the node script due to an uncaught exception error and provides a reasonable outcome for most use cases. For example, in the scenario outlined above, if an error event fires while your script is processing the data already downloaded, it will not impact on your script immediately. An error will be logged to console.error(), but your script will continue to run. Once you have completed processing your data, if you attempt another SFTP call, it will fail with an error about no available SFTP connections. As this will occur within the context of interacting with the SFTP server, your script can take appropriate action to resolve the issue (such as re-connecting to the server). On the other hand, if after processing the file your done and just want to end, then you can just ignore the error, perform any necessary cleanup work and exit successfully.

-    the sftp object is unset whenever a close event occurs. As close events can
-    occur outside main method calls, only having method based listeners was not
-    sufficient.
--   Also added a utils.dumpListeners() method, useful when debugging issues with

--   **error:** An error occurred. Calls listener with an error argument.
--   **end:** The socket has been disconnected. No argument.
--   **close:** The socket was closed. Boolean argument which is true when the socket
-    was closed due to errors.
-1.  on(eventType, listener)
-    Adds the specified listener to the specified event type. It the event type is
-    `error`, the listener should accept 1 argument, which will be an Error object. If
-    the event type is `close`, the listener should accept one argument of a boolean
-    type, which will be true when the client connection was closed due to errors.
-2.  removeListener(eventType, listener)
-    Removes the specified listener from the event specified in eventType. Note that
-    the `end()` method automatically removes all listeners from the client object.

-## Remote server drops connections with only an end event
-Many SFTP servers have rate limiting protection which will drop connections once
-a limit has been reached. In particular, openSSH has the setting `MaxStartups`,
-which can be a tuple of the form `max:drop:full` where `max` is the maximum
-allowed unauthenticated connections, `drop` is a percentage value which
-specifies percentage of connections to be dropped once `max` connections has
-been reached and `full` is the number of connections at which point all
-subsequent connections will be dropped. e.g. `10:30:60` means allow up to 10
-unauthenticated connections after which drop 30% of connection attempts until
-reaching 60 unauthenticated connections, at which time, drop all attempts.
-Clients first make an unauthenticated connection to the SFTP server to begin
-negotiation of protocol settings (cipher, authentication method etc). If you are
-creating multiple connections in a script, it is easy to exceed the limit,
-resulting in some connections being dropped. As SSH2 only raises an 'end' event
-for these dropped connections, no error is detected. The `ssh2-sftp-client` now
-listens for `end` events during the connection process and if one is detected,
-will reject the connection promise.
-One way to avoid this type of issue is to add a delay between connection
-attempts. It does not need to be a very long delay - just sufficient to permit
-the previous connection to be authenticated. In fact, the default setting for
-openSSH is `10:30:60`, so you really just need to have enough delay to ensure
-that the 1st connection has completed authentication before the 11th connection
-is attempted.

+### downloadDir(srcDir, dstDir) ==> string<a id="sec-5-2-20"></a>
-<a id="org735f9cc"></a>
+Download the remote directory specified by `srcDir` to the local file system directory specified by `dstDir`. The `dstDir` directory will be created if required. All sub directories within `srcDir` will also be copied. Any existing files in the local path will be overwritten. No files in the local path will be deleted.
-## How can you pass writable stream as dst for get method?
+The method also emites `download` events to provide a way to monitor download progress. The download event listener is called with one argument, an object with two properties, source and destination. The source property is the path to the remote file that has been downloaded and the destination is the local path to where the file was downloaded to. You can add a listener for this event using the `on()` method.
-If the dst argument passed to the get method is a writeable stream, the remote
-file will be piped into that writeable. If the writeable you pass in is a
-writeable stream created with `fs.createWriteStream()`, the data will be written
-to the file specified in the constructor call to `createWriteStream()`.
+-   **srcDir:** A remote file path specified as a string
+-   **dstDir:** A local file path specified as a string
-The writeable stream can be any type of write stream. For example, the below code
-will convert all the characters in the remote file to upper case before it is
-saved to the local file system. This could just as easily be something like a
-gunzip stream from `zlib`, enabling you to decompress remote zipped files as you
-bring them across before saving to local file system.

-# Troubleshooting
-The `ssh2-sftp-client` module is essentially a wrapper around the `ssh2` and
-`ssh2-streams` modules, providing a higher level `promise` based API. When you
-run into issues, it is important to try and determine where the issue lies -
-either in the ssh2-sftp-client module or the underlying `ssh2` and
-`ssh2-streams` modules. One way to do this is to first identify a minimal
-reproducible example which reproduces the issue. Once you have that, try to
-replicate the functionality just using the `ssh2` and `ssh2-streams` modules. If
-the issue still occurs, then you can be fairly confident it is something related
-to those later 2 modules and therefore and issue which should be referred to the
-maintainer of that module.

-The `ssh2` and `ssh2-streams` modules are very solid, high quality modules with

-misconfiguration. It is therefore very important when trying to diagnose an

-these modules have good defaults, the flexibility of the ssh2 protocol means
-that not all options are available by default. You may need to tweak the
-connection options, ssh2 algorithms and ciphers etc for some remote servers. The
-documentation for both the `ssh2` and `ssh2-streams` module is quite
-comprehensive and there is lots of valuable information in the issue logs.

+## Common Errors<a id="sec-9-1"></a>
-<a id="org97ed736"></a>
+There are some common errors people tend to make when using Promises or Asyc/Await. These are by far the most common problem found in issues logged against this module. Please check for some of these before logging your issue.
-## Common Errors
+### Not returning the promise in a `then()` block<a id="sec-9-1-1"></a>
-There are some common errors people tend to make when using Promises or
-Asyc/Await. These are by far the most common problem found in issues logged
-against this module. Please check for some of these before logging your
-issue.
+All methods in `ssh2-sftp-client` return a Promise. This means methods are executed *asynchrnously*. When you call a method inside the `then()` block of a promise chain, it is critical that you return the Promise that call generates. Failing to do this will result in the `then()` block completing and your code starting execution of the next `then()`, `catch()` or `finally()` block before your promise has been fulfilled. For exmaple, the following will not do what you expect
+```javascript
+sftp.connect(config)
+  .then(() => {
+    sftp.fastGet('foo.txt', 'bar.txt');
+  }).then(rslt => {
+    console.log(rslt);
+    sftp.end();
+  }).catch(e => {
+    console.error(e.message);
+  });

-        sftp.end();
-      }).catch(e => {
-        console.error(e.message);
-      });
-In the above code, the `sftp.end()` method will almost certainly be called
-before `sftp.gastGet()` has been fulfilled (unless the *foo.txt* file is
-really small!). In fact, the whole promise chain will complete and exit even
-before the `sftp.end()` call has been fulfilled. The correct code would be
-something like
-    sftp.connect(config)
-      .then(() => {
-        return sftp.fastGet('foo.txt', 'bar.txt');

-        return sftp.end();
-      }).catch(e => {
-        console.error(e.message);
-      });
-Note the `return` statements. These ensure that the Promise returned by the
-client method is returned into the promise chain. It will be this promise
-the next block in the chain will wait on to be fulfilled before the next
-block is executed. Without the return statement, that block will return the
-default promise for that block, which essentially says *this block has been
-fulfilled*. What you really want is the promise which says *your sftp client
-method call has been fulfilled*.

For example, the following is more complex and difficult to follow than necessary (and has a bug!)

-        console.error(e.message);
-      }).finally(() => {
-        sftp.end();
-      });
-The main bug in the above code is the `then()` block is not returning the
-Promise generated by the call to `sftp.fastGet()`. What it is actually
-returning is a fulfilled promise which says the `then()` block has been run
-(note that the await'ed promise is not being returned and is therefore
-outside the main Promise chain). As a result, the `finally()` block will be
-executed before the await promise has been fulfilled.
-Using async/await inside the promise chain has created unnecessary
-complexity and leads to incorrect assumptions regarding how the code will
-execute. A quick glance at the code is likely to give the impression that
-execution will wait for the `sftp.fastGet()` call to be fulfilled before
-continuing. This is not the case. The code would be more clearly expressed
-as either
-    sftp.connect(config)
-      .then(() => {
-        return sftp.cwd();
-      }).then(d => {
-        console.log(`remote dir ${d}`);
