SFTP Sensor¶

Looks for either a specific file or files with a specific pattern in a server using SFTP protocol. To get more information about this sensor visit SFTPSensor

tests/system/providers/sftp/example_sftp_sensor.py[source]

sftp_with_operator = SFTPSensor(task_id="sftp_operator", path=FULL_FILE_PATH, poke_interval=10)

We can also use Taskflow API. It takes the same arguments as the SFTPSensor along with -

op_args (optional): A list of positional arguments that will get unpacked when calling your callable (templated)
op_kwargs (optional): A dictionary of keyword arguments that will get unpacked in your function (templated)

Whatever returned by the python callable is put into XCom.

tests/system/providers/sftp/example_sftp_sensor.py[source]

@task.sftp_sensor(  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
    task_id="sftp_sensor",  # type: ignore[attr-defined]
    path=FULL_FILE_PATH,
    poke_interval=10,
)
def sftp_sensor_decorator():
    print("Files were successfully found!")
    # add your logic
    return "done"

Checks for the existence of a file on an SFTP server in the deferrable mode:

tests/system/providers/sftp/example_sftp_sensor.py[source]

sftp_sensor_with_async = SFTPSensor(
    task_id="sftp_operator_async", path=FULL_FILE_PATH, poke_interval=10, deferrable=True
)
