How do I upload a file to an SFTP server in C# (.NET)? [closed]

Does a free .NET library exist with which I can upload a file to a SFTP (SSH FTP) server, which throws exceptions on problems with the upload and allows the monitoring of its progress?

Maybe you can script/control winscp?

Update: winscp now has a .NET library available as a nuget package that supports SFTP, SCP, and FTPS

Following code shows how to upload a file to a SFTP server using our Rebex SFTP component.

// create client, connect and log in 
Sftp client = new Sftp();
client.Connect(hostname);
client.Login(username, password);

// upload the 'test.zip' file to the current directory at the server 
client.PutFile(@"c:\data\test.zip", "test.zip");

client.Disconnect();

You can write a complete communication log to a file using a LogWriter property as follows. Examples output (from FTP component but the SFTP output is similar) can be found here.

client.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter(
   @"c:\temp\log.txt", Rebex.LogLevel.Debug); 

or intercept the communication using events as follows:

Sftp client = new Sftp();
client.CommandSent += new SftpCommandSentEventHandler(client_CommandSent);
client.ResponseRead += new SftpResponseReadEventHandler(client_ResponseRead);
client.Connect("sftp.example.org");

//... 
private void client_CommandSent(object sender, SftpCommandSentEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Command: {0}", e.Command);
}

private void client_ResponseRead(object sender, SftpResponseReadEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Response: {0}", e.Response);
}

For more info see tutorial or download a trial and check samples.

There is no solution for this within the .net framework.

your best free bet is to extend SSH using Granados. http://www.routrek.co.jp/en/product/varaterm/granados.html
