SFTP File transfer using k6 script

Grafana k6 OSS Support

Hi Team,

Can we transfer files to the SFTP server using k6 scripting?

Hi @Sreenivas

Thanks for raising the question.

If you are asking for support to load test an SFTP server, this is not natively supported. I would suggest you add your interest to the existing issue to support SFTP in k6 core: Support for more protocols · Issue #1667 · grafana/k6 · GitHub. And you can also see the workaround could be building an extension: Support for more protocols · Issue #1667 · grafana/k6 · GitHub.

If you are looking to send files to an SFTP server for other purposes, not to load test an SFTP server, let me know.

Cheers!

Thank you @eyeveebe for your reply, yes I am looking to send files (load test ) to an SFTP server.

Do we can upload/transfer files to HTTP protocol, if yes could you please provide some documents and links to develop the k6 code?

Thank you again for your Support.

Hi @Sreenivas

I believe the examples on how to upload a file using multipart can help: Data Uploads

Let me know if otherwise :bowing_woman:

Cheers!
