I can't perform a second get using the same write stream

The most basic example to reproduce the issue it’s just trying to concat the content of two existing files:

const writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('./concat-result');
await sftp.get('remote/file0', writeStream);
await sftp.get('remote/file1', writeStream);

The execution hangs in the file1 call, and the contact-result file only contains the content of the file0 file. Using { autoClose: false } in the first call didn’t work. Maybe a lack of knowledge, but I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong!

Thank you very much!

I have re-factored the option handling for both get() and put() which should now work. The options argument is now an object with properties for readStreamOptions, writeStreamOptions and pipeOptions. Each property should be an object containing the options to apply to any read or write streams created by the method or the pipe() call. In your use case, you want to set the options.pipeOptions.end = false to stop the mthod from sending an ‘end’ event to the write stream. It may also be necessary to turn write stream autoClose off with options.writeStreamOptions.autoClose = false (but not 100% sure on that).

The current master branch is now based on the new ssh2 v1.1.0 module. I will be releasing a new ssh2-sftp-client version in about a week.

New version 7.0.0 of ssh2-sftp-client has been pushed to npmjs.com. This version includes changes to get()/put() option handling to support re-use of streams (as well as other things). See updated manual entry for details of new option format.
