NET-SFTP File Closing Behaviour

[NavindrenBaskaran]

First Approach

file = sftp.file.open('remote/test.csv')
file.read

With this approach after the read is perform, the file still exists in the SFTP Server.

Second Approach

sftp.file.open('remote/test.csv') do |file|
  file.read
end

With this approach at the end of the block, the file is no longer in the SFTP Server, would like to understand why it works as such.

Looking at the code, for the second approach, we are ensuring that the file is always closed once the block is executed, hence the question is why does closing the file removes it from the server?

Thank you!
