Secure FTP
-
Anyone know of a good, FREE C# secure FTP class? I found some here and on CodePlex but they're all lacking in some ways. Just wondering if an CP'ers know of a good class.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

I ended up writing my own FTP class in C# way back in around 2009 and I still use the same code to this day. It's not that difficult to write FTP, and if you have specific requirements then it's a no-brainer.

I think he is referring to SFTP, which I think is a little less intuitive then writing straight FTP stuff.

WinSCP .NET Assembly and COM Library :: WinSCP[^] is probably your best bet for doing this. You can get the package down from NuGet Gallery | WinSCP .NET assembly[^]

Do you know if the source is available?

GitHub - sshnet/SSH.NET: SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH) library for .NET, optimized for parallelism.[^] Sounds like it provides SFTP, as well. Worth a gander, I would say. Got the link from here: c# - SFTP Libraries for .NET - Stack Overflow[^] One of the comments points to a codeplex page, which points to the link above. Good luck.
Wow, I just downloaded the source. There's a whole bunch of source files. This seems WAY too complicated. I'll spend some time looking at it, but I'm turned off already.

What is "secure FTP"? Everyone here is talking like they know what it means. What's wrong with data encryption? Password protected zip files?

Maybe that's because we do... Secure FTP is when the data is encrypted before transmission. Why do through extra step of zipping a file when the SFTP class can encrypt it for you?

Well, that sucks. You might want to look at the library Nish and others have pointed out then, I guess.

Well, there is something to be said for having the "data at rest" encrypted. But there is also something to be said for not having your FTP credentials flying across the wire in the clear.
