Why not just exec an rsync from the shell and send the command over an ssh tunnel? I realize the point is to refactor the code, but why write a pure ruby script that could potentially be broken by changes to net/sftp? This assumes you've done a key exchange between the local and remote machines...
`rsync --delete -a /path/to/some/emptydir/ <remoteserver>:<user>/remote/dir/to/clear/`
I'm trying to clear a remote directory via sftp. I'm new to ruby and net-sftp so it wouldn't surprise me if there is a more elegant or built in way to do this. Also, it feels like there might be a faster way. I've extended the net::sftp::session in the following way. Thoughts?
