class Net::SSH::Connection::Session

A convenience method for starting up a new SFTP connection on the current SSH session. Blocks until the SFTP session is fully open, and then returns the SFTP session.

Net::SSH.start("localhost", "user", "password") do |ssh|
  ssh.sftp.upload!("/local/file.tgz", "/remote/file.tgz")
  ssh.exec! "cd /some/path && tar xf /remote/file.tgz && rm /remote/file.tgz"
end

def sftp(wait=true)
  @sftp ||= begin
    sftp = Net::SFTP::Session.new(self)
    sftp.connect! if wait
    sftp
  end
end
