无法使用节点ssh2从目录下载所有文件

Question

I was trying to download few files using ssh2 package in node. I'm presently using

sftp.fastGet(remote_PATH, local_PATH, {}, function(downloadError){
    if(downloadError) throw downloadError;
      console.log("Succesfully downloaded");
    });

But not able to download all the files present in the directory. Is it possible using this module? If yes, how?

If you have full ssh access, one simple solution is to just stream a tar archive. For example:

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

// ...

ssh.exec('tar czf - /path/to/transfer', function(err, stream) {
  if (err) throw err;
  var localproc = spawn('tar', ['-C', '/path/to/extract/to', 'xf', '-']);
  stream.pipe(localproc);
  stream.on('close', function(code, signal) {
    console.log('Tar finished with code %j, signal %j', code, signal);
    // Close connection or do whatever else ...
  });
  // Ignore stderr
  stream.stderr.resume();
});
