SSH/SFTP Communications in C#

SSH/SFTP Communications in C#

• Rothariger

  I don't believe .NET supports ssh natively ... Mono does, but I think these were added specifically for linux.

  appears to be what you'd be looking for.  There are other commercial .NET packages for ssh as well.

  This product (Granados) is SSH only, not SFTP. Anyone wanting to implement SFTP should consider extending Granados. (1) A combined SSH/SFTP product is far more useful than either one alone because the user does not need to learn two totally different ways to interface into these related protocols. (2) A lot of the functionality (such as all the crypto) is already there and you can focus on producing the file transfer functionality.

  Hi Tamir

  I'm wanting to transfer files over sftp in from an asp.net website to an sftp server. Will your classes adapt for this task ie. Running in a remote host envirmonment as opposed to a windows app environment

  Any advice much appreciated.

  Cheers.

  SSH is not SSL, and SFTP is not FTP over SSL.

  Hello Tamir,
  
  I am using your SharpSsh, but it doesn't work with commands for removing files. I tried to do it with SshExec and with SshShell by running a command "rm -f filename.wav", but didn't achieve to get a response. The command starts and never ends... Any idea
  
  Please answer as soon as possible.
  
  Regards,
  L.
  
  I also posted the same question on code project, but nobody answered...

  Rebex SFTP for .NET / .NET CF will also do the job. The interface seems to be easy-to-learn - see following example taken from SFTP component tutorial page.
  
  

  // create client, connect and log in 
  Sftp client = new Sftp();
  client.Connect("sftp.example.org");
  client.Login("username", "password");
  
  // select the desired directory 
  client.ChangeDirectory("path");
  
  // retrieve and display the list of files and directories 
  SftpItemCollection list = client.GetList ();
  foreach (SftpItem item in list)
  {
  	Console.Write(item.Modified.ToString("u"));
  	Console.Write(item.Size.ToString().PadLeft(10,' '));
  	Console.Write(" {0}", item.Name);
  	Console.WriteLine();
  }

  SSL/FTP is already supported in System.Net 2.0
  You can also use Sockets/NetworkStream
  and then compose an SSLStream on top of the NetworkSteam.
  That way you don't need to worry about the SSL implementation

Seems like all the SSH/SFTP code and libraries out there are for the Linux crowd. Can anyone point me in the right direction Am I going to be making calls to a command-line SSH app, or is this something that's going to be doable with reasonable effort

  There's a number of SSH/SFTP solutions for .NET.

  You can check the comparison chart at http://www.eldos.com/sbb/sftpcompare.php . See the sample of how to use SFTP with VB.NET on http://www.eldos.com/sbb/sftp.net/sftp-net-vb-sample.php

  Is another link to this project.  I just tested it and it works great for transfering SFTP files.

  Hi,
  
  Recently I ported some of the JSch java SSH lib to C#. I posted my code at the codeproject website: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/sharpSsh.asp.
  The demo project contains an examples directory that also contains an SFPT implementation.

  Can you direct me to where in Mono ssh is supported natively I need ssh and maybe scp. I realize I could use one of the other solutions mentioned in this thread, but if it is possible to use Mono's libraries, that would be much more preferable.
  
  Thanks!
