# phpseclib adapter
*N.B.* It is recommended to use this adapter over [SFTP](sftp.html).
## Prerequisites
* [phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib)
You can install it via:
```bash
composer require phpseclib/phpseclib:^2.0
```
## Configuration
```php
$sftp = new phpseclib\Net\SFTP($host = 'localhost', $port = 22);
//now you need to login manually with the lib
$sftp->login('foo', 'bar');
$adapter = new Gaufrette\Adapter\PhpseclibSftp($sftp, $distantDirectory = null, $createDirectoryIfDoesntExist = false);
$filesystem = new Gaufrette\Filesystem($adapter);
```
