SSH2 what am I doing wrong?

Question

I'm having trouble copying a file from my laravel project to another server. This is what I'm doing.

    $connection = ssh2_connect($this->ftpHostname, $this->ftpPort);

    if (!$connection) {
        throw new \Exception("Couldn't connect to {$this->ftpHostname}:{$this->ftpPort}");
    }

    $loginResult = ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'usrname', 'pswrd');

    if (!$loginResult) {
        throw new \Exception("Username or Password not accepted for {$this->ftpHostname}:{$this->ftpPort}");
    }

    $sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
    $fullFilePath = storage_path() .'/'.$this->argument('local-file');
    $remoteFilePath = "ssh2.sftp://{$sftp}/{$this->argument('remote-folder')}/SomeFolder/{$this->argument('remote-filename')}.txt";

    $copyResult = copy($fullFilePath, $remoteFilePath);

But it's giving me this error

[ErrorException]
copy(): Unable to open ssh2.sftp://Resource id #621/My Folders/Upload only/sample.txt on remote host

I'm really new in ssh how do I solve this?

is it normal that it returns this? ssh2.sftp://Resource id #621 because im confused where the error is — Keannu Alforque Atilano, Jul 19 '17 at 14:04

Cast $sftp to an int before using it in the ssh2.sftp:// fopen wrapper.

$remoteFilePath = "ssh2.sftp://" . (int)$sftp . "/{$this->argument('remote-folder')}/SomeFolder/{$this->argument('remote-filename')}.txt";

From ssh2_sftp

The example code above fails unless you cast the $stftp to (int) or use intval()

$stream = fopen("ssh2.sftp://$sftp/path/to/file", 'r'); // Fails

$stream = fopen("ssh2.sftp://" . (int)$sftp . "/path/to/file", 'r'); // joy

Since copy() will be using the fopen wrappers to interpret your ssh2.sftp:// uri, that should help.

Hi, it's still the same copy(): Unable to open ssh2.sftp://621/My Folder/Upload only/sample .txt on remote host – Keannu Alforque Atilano Jul 19 '17 at 14:27
My bad, it was the folder structure creating the error. Your answer is correct! – Keannu Alforque Atilano Jul 19 '17 at 16:08
