  • I am trying to get remote directory contents and facing one issue:

    It is returning all the directories name under that folder but it is not returning the file names. Is anyone else is also facing the same issue? Also one strange thing happened, with the same configuration, it was able to return the file name for once. Node is not braking or giving any error.

  • This function is simply running an ls command on the SFTP server.  Then it loops through each of the contents and runs the following logic:

    If content.getLongname() start with d then add to the directory array, otherwise add to file array (unless ".." or "." which are filtered out)

    Are you checking both of the output arrays (documents and files)?

    I would test with an SFTP client like WinSCP and see if you have the same issue.  It may be a user permission issue on those files.
