I've been able to successfully use ftpwebrequest for uploading and downloading files via standard ftp protocol.

I thought I would be able to use .EnableSSL = True but I still can't connect to the sFTP site.

Research has indicated that .NET libraries don't natively support sFTP - can anyone provide some insight on transferring a file via sFTP?

Thanks!

To use SFTP or FTP Over SSL you need to use third party libraries as it is not possible to do with inbuilt .NET classes.

  • Any recommendations on which 3rd party tool? I've found a few which aren't free so I'd like to make sure I'm looking at a set of tools that are appropriate.. – George Vaisey May 27 '14 at 12:07
  • While the answer is true regarding SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), for FTP over TLS/SSL, you can use `FtpWebRequest` (with `EnableSSL`). – Martin Prikryl May 27 '14 at 14:36
  • @GeorgeVaisey We're using Chilkat.NET, but there may be better ones. Maybe read some reviews? – Thorsten Dittmar May 27 '14 at 14:47
  • I have been reading reviews and everyone looks fairly similar but don't appear to have been updated or supported in some time. Was hoping to take the recommendation of others to get a solution that worked well without having to live thru the pain of others. – George Vaisey May 27 '14 at 14:56
