Tips

For a little bit safer, @bring-it/sftp will always upload files in order by: OTHER, SVG, STYLE, SCRIPT, HTML, XML/JSON/YAML .

Not like the HTTP URL, in the SFTP URI, Port is 22 by default.

Path will point to / by default, so don't forget set ChrootDirectory in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to a safe path on server.

Atomic write is not support when ssh/sftp/scp transfer, make your bundle support long-term caching, it will be safer when uploading.
