Seems pretty interesting. I will try to work on it if it has not been taken.

Hi, @PragmaTwice, are you currently working on this issue?

Some attempts but put on hold, feel free to take it over.

We can use https://docs.rs/ssh2/latest/ssh2/struct.File.html for that

This library doesn't support async operation. Maybe we need https://docs.rs/async-ssh2-lite/latest/async_ssh2_lite/sftp/struct.AsyncSftp.html

A few months ago, I tried using openssh-sftp-client library and found it to be quite promising. (it is full async)

That one looks good. One thing to keep in mind is the suggestions from this issue: https://github.com/openssh-rust/openssh-sftp-client/issues/61

openssh only works on unix. Should we concern the compatibility for windows?

And openssh only supports keypair-based authentication. This limits the functionality of password logins.

I prefer to make it work first and then consider other possibilities.

Basic support for sftp has been added. Thanks @silver-ymz.
