title: 'sftpR: Robust SFTP Interface Using ''curl'''
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.sftpR
abstract: Provides a high-level, object-oriented interface for Secure File Transfer
  Protocol (SFTP) operations built upon the 'curl' package. The package implements
  an 'R6' class to manage persistent connections and provides 'tidyverse'-style functions
  for common file system tasks. Key features include recursive directory creation
  with idempotency support, "smart" local path resolution that distinguishes between
  files and directories, and the ability to download remote resources directly into
  memory as raw vectors for seamless integration into data processing pipelines. It
  is designed to handle common SFTP edge cases gracefully, providing informative error
  messages and robust path sanitization to ensure compatibility across different server
  configurations.
