  • ssh

    Native SSH client in R based on libssh (by ropensci)

    • No UI, but ssh::scp_download() works to download files.

  • sftp

    R-package with convenience functions for SFTP operations wrapping RCurl functions (by stenevang)

    • StackOverflow has some discussion about using RCurl to access a STFP server, and there's this GitHub package as well (though I can't vouch for it): https://github.com/stenevang/sftp

  • InfluxDB
