I am connected to an other server using ssh2_connect function the connection is going well and I am able to fetch a desired file but I am not sure how the files can be listed.

Answer 1

You can use ssh2_sftp and opendir, like this:

<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');

$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$sftp_fd = intval($sftp);

$handle = opendir("ssh2.sftp://$sftp_fd/path/to/directory");
echo "Directory handle: $handle
";
echo "Entries:
";
while (false != ($entry = readdir($handle))){
    echo "$entry
";
}
