SFTP download with .NET CORE 3.1

Question

Is there a way to download a file from a sftp server with .net core 3.1 ?

I found various answers which are all outdated. (for example, ssh.net cannot be found anymore)

How is the current status in this topic?

@rene your link is 2 years old, and is about .net core 2.0, not 3.1 — askolotl, Apr 22 '20 at 11:01
Sure, I just wanted to give some pointers as you didn't include which outdated answers you already saw. SSH.Net is indeed old but that goes back to .Net 2.0 if memory serves well. — rene, Apr 22 '20 at 11:45
I have found SSH.NET meanwhile, but it is NOT compatible to .net core unfortunately. — askolotl, Apr 22 '20 at 16:05
There is a [develop branch of SSH.Net](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET) that is [setup to work with .Net Core 3.1](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/issues/355#issuecomment-605509043) but [not yet published](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/issues/636). Unfortunately that project was delayed for a while. Perhaps you could try the develop branch? — NetMage, Apr 23 '20 at 00:08
@NetMage **thanks a lot**, I will give it a try! Maybe I can even support the project. — askolotl, Apr 23 '20 at 08:11

There is an updated version of SSH.net called Neon.SSh.Net https://www.nuget.org/packages/Neon.SSH.NET/

works in the same way as the old version from Renci.

...
var client = new SftpClient(host,port,username,password);
    client.Connect();
    using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenWrite("c:\\temp\\file.tmp"))
    { 
          _client.DownloadFile(ftpFilePath, fileStream);
    }
...
