Create a ruby pseudo terminal (PTY) and invoke an interactive command (SFTP)

sftp.rb

require 'pty'
require 'expect'
    
PTY.spawn('sftp [email protected]:/uploads') do |input, output|

  # Say yes to SSH fingerprint
  input.expect(/fingerprint/, 2) do |r|

    output.puts "yes" if !r.nil?

    # Enter SFTP password
    input.expect(/password/, 2) do |r|

      output.puts 'your_sftp_password' if !r.nil?

      input.expect(/sftp/) do

        # List folders and files in `/uploads`
        output.puts 'ls'

        # Check if folder named `foo` exist
        input.expect(/foo/, 1) do |result|

          is_folder_exist = result.nil? ? false : true
          # Create `foo` folder if does'nt exist
          output.puts "mkdir foo" if !is_folder_exist
          # Change directory to `foo`
          output.puts "cd foo"
          # Upload `/path/to/local/foo.txt` in `foo` folder as `foo.txt`
          output.puts "put /path/to/local/foo.txt foo.txt"
          # Exit SFTP
          output.puts "exit"

        end

      end

    end

  end

end
