Re: SFTP: signal or command transfer

[Jakub Jelen <jjelen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
It really depends on the way how the signalling is implemented. If it
is in the unix philosophy creation of a file/path that is watched by
the processing application, than it can be dome simply by creating
that file through sftp.

If you really need to run some commands, this needs to be done outside
of SFTP session. But if the server accepts also SSH commands/exec
channels (is not restricted to the sftp subsystem), it should be
super-easy to write something with libssh that will run a command once
you are done with uploading the files.
