SFTP file upload using CURL and PHP

Question

How to SFTP upload files from PHP

I have two files:

upload.php
data.csv (around 1MB)

Upload.php should connect using SFTP and CURL and then send the data.csv file to their server. I have been given a URL, username and password so I can log-in using SFTP.

Can anyone tell me the code I should use? Unfortunately I have no real experience with CURL.

Thanks,

Ryan

is data.csv being generated by upload.php? or is upload.php doing nothing but the upload? if it's nothing but the upload, why not simply use the proper command-line sftp client instead of having to hack together far too much php? — Marc B, Nov 20 '12 at 16:00
If it's really sftp (SSH File Transfer Protocol) would be better to use php ssh extension http://php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php — Zdenek Machek, Nov 20 '12 at 16:03

You can use SSH2 extension:

$host = 'domain.tld';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$connection = ssh2_connect($host);
if (ssh2_auth_password($connection, $username, $password)) {
  echo "Authentication Successful!\n";
} else {
  die("Authentication Failed...");
}
if (ssh2_scp_send($connection, '/local/filename', '/remote/filename')) {
  die("Upload Successful!\n");
} else {
  die("Upload Failed...");
}

Or you can check out this tutorial if you still prefer curl.
