        SFTPHandle
Abstract object representing a handle to an open file (or folder) in an SFTP server implementation. Each handle has a string representation used by the client to refer to the underlying file.
Server implementations can (and should) subclass SFTPHandle to implement features of a file handle, like stat or chattr.
