When I call the createFile() function in my Cypress test, I am trying to create a file on a hosted SFTP server.

Currently, when I call it, I get the following error message:

The following error was thrown by a plugin. We stopped running your tests because a plugin crashed. Please check your plugins file ( C:\Dev\SFTP_POC\cypress\plugins\index.js )

Error: put: Internal server error. sftp://myHost.com@sftp.next.rec-test.com:2022/reports/ at fmtError (C:\Dev\SFTP_POC\node_modules\ssh2-sftp-client\src\utils.js:55:18) at WriteStream.

Below is my current index.js code:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('task', {
    createFile() {
      const fs = require('fs');
      let data = fs.createReadStream('C:/Dev/SFTP_POC/cypress/fixtures/example.json');
      let remote = 'sftp://myHost.com:2022/reports/'; 
      let Client = require('ssh2-sftp-client');
      let sftp = new Client();
      const config = {
        host: 'myHost.com',
        port: '2022',
        username: 'myUsername',
        password: 'myPassword'
      sftp.connect(config).then(() => {
        sftp.put(data, remote);        
        .then(data => {
          console.log('Success');
        .then(() => {
          sftp.end();
        .catch(err => {
          console.log(err);
      return null;
My remote variable is a folder that exists on the server.
However, after the test, a new file isn't being added.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here, & how to resolve it
