files.each do |file|
  puts "#{file.name}: #{file.size} bytes" unless file.is_dir
end

# List only directories
dirs = files.select(&:is_dir)
puts "Subdirectories: #{dirs.map(&:name).join(', ')}"

download_file()

ruby
def download_file(remote_path, local_path)

Downloads a file from the Sandbox. Returns the file contents as a string. This method is useful when you want to load the file into memory without saving it to disk. It can only be used for smaller files.

Parameters:

  • remote_path String - Path to the file in the Sandbox. Relative paths are resolved based on the sandbox working directory.
  • local_path String, nil - Optional path to save the file locally. If provided, the file will be saved to disk.

Returns:

  • File, nil - The file if local_path is nil, otherwise nil

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the operation fails

Examples:

ruby
# Download and get file content
content = sandbox.fs.download_file("workspace/data/file.txt")
puts content

# Download and save a file locally
sandbox.fs.download_file("workspace/data/file.txt", "local_copy.txt")
size_mb = File.size("local_copy.txt") / 1024.0 / 1024.0
puts "Size of the downloaded file: #{size_mb} MB"

download_file_stream()

ruby
def download_file_stream(remote_path, timeout:, on_progress:, cancel_event:)

Downloads a single file from the Sandbox as a stream without buffering the entire file into memory. Yields file content in chunks to the given block, or returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

Parameters:

  • remote_path String - Path to the file in the Sandbox. Relative paths are resolved based on the sandbox working directory.
  • timeout Integer - Timeout for the download operation in seconds. 0 means no timeout. Default is 30 minutes.
  • on_progress Proc, nil - Optional callback invoked with a Daytona::DownloadProgress struct containing bytes_received (Integer) and total_bytes (Integer or nil).
  • cancel_event #set?, nil - Optional cancellation token (anything responding to +set?+; the standard library's +Concurrent::Event+ or a small ad-hoc object both work). When set during streaming, the next chunk raises Daytona::Sdk::Error and the underlying HTTP connection is torn down.

Returns:

  • Enumerator, nil - An Enumerator yielding chunks if no block given, nil otherwise

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the file does not exist, the operation fails, or +cancel_event+ is set during streaming

Examples:

ruby
File.open("local_copy.bin", "wb") do |f|
  sandbox.fs.download_file_stream("workspace/large-file.bin") { |chunk| f.write(chunk) }
end

ruby
content = sandbox.fs.download_file_stream("workspace/data.json").reduce(:+)
puts content

upload_file()

ruby
def upload_file(source, remote_path)

Uploads a file to the specified path in the Sandbox. If a file already exists at the destination path, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:

  • source String, IO - File contents as a string/bytes or a local file path or IO object.
  • remote_path String - Path to the destination file. Relative paths are resolved based on the sandbox working directory.

Returns:

  • void

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the operation fails

Examples:

ruby
# Upload a text file from string content
content = "Hello, World!"
sandbox.fs.upload_file(content, "tmp/hello.txt")

# Upload a local file
sandbox.fs.upload_file("local_file.txt", "tmp/file.txt")

# Upload binary data
data = { key: "value" }.to_json
sandbox.fs.upload_file(data, "tmp/config.json")

upload_file_stream()

ruby
def upload_file_stream(source, remote_path, timeout:, on_progress:, cancel_event:)

Streams +source+ to the Sandbox without buffering its contents in memory, with optional progress reporting.

Parameters:

  • source String, IO - A local file path or any IO-like object responding to +read(n)+. Strings that don't reference an existing file are uploaded as their raw bytes (still streamed, just from memory).
  • remote_path String - Destination path in the Sandbox.
  • timeout Integer - Timeout in seconds. 0 means no timeout. Default 30 minutes.
  • on_progress Proc, nil - Optional callback invoked with a +Daytona::UploadProgress+ struct as libcurl reports bytes actually uploaded.
  • cancel_event #set?, nil - Optional cancellation token. When set while staging a non-file source or during the libcurl upload, the operation raises Daytona::Sdk::Error and the in-progress upload is aborted (no destination file is left on the sandbox thanks to the daemon's atomic-rename behaviour).

Returns:

  • void

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the operation fails or +cancel_event+ is set.

Examples:

ruby
File.open("large.bin", "rb") do |f|
  sandbox.fs.upload_file_stream(f, "tmp/large.bin",
    on_progress: ->(p) { puts "#{p.bytes_sent} bytes sent" })
end

upload_files()

ruby
def upload_files(files)

Uploads multiple files to the Sandbox. If files already exist at the destination paths, they will be overwritten.

Parameters:

  • files Array<FileUpload> - List of files to upload.

Returns:

  • void

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the operation fails

Examples:

ruby
# Upload multiple files
files = [
  FileUpload.new("Content of file 1", "/tmp/file1.txt"),
  FileUpload.new("workspace/data/file2.txt", "/tmp/file2.txt"),
  FileUpload.new('{"key": "value"}', "/tmp/config.json")
]
sandbox.fs.upload_files(files)

find_files()

ruby
def find_files(path, pattern)

Searches for files containing a pattern, similar to the grep command.

Parameters:

  • path String - Path to the file or directory to search. If the path is a directory, the search will be performed recursively. Relative paths are resolved based on the sandbox working directory.

Returns:

  • Array\<DaytonaApiClient:Match\> - List of matches found in files

Raises:

  • Daytona:Sdk:Error - If the operation fails

Examples:

matches.each do |match|
  puts "#{match.file}:#{match.line}: #{match.content.strip}"
end

ruby
def search_files(path, pattern)

result = sandbox.fs.search_files("workspace/data", "test_*")
puts "Found #{result.files.length} test files"

move_files()

ruby
