node-red-contrib-better-sftp 0.0.11
A better node for SFTP communication.
node-red-contrib-better-sftp
Better SFTP was created out of necessity for a SFTP node which was fully implemented and had several options to configure algorithms.
Big shout out to jyu213 for creating ssh2-sftp-client to make development of this node easy.
