Hi all,

I have been using api calls to the wininet.dll for all of my ftp automation.
I now need to switch over to sftp. There are a lot of 'buy activeX
component' sites out there, but I prefer to write it, hopefully with some
help from you guys. I could not find any examples. If anyone has any
information on how to get started I would appreciated it.

Thanks Fz

The easy way is to buy SocketWrench secure
(http://www.catalyst.com/products/socketwrench/secure/index.html) or buy 2
copies of CuteFTP Professional (1 for the development PC and one for the PC
that will be running the code (http://www.cuteftp.com/cuteftppro/).

I haven't used the SocketWrench Secure tool, although I have used the free
non-secure SocketWrench. I've used CuteFTP Pro to set up about 10
differentia SFTP clients and it's very easy code if you use their examples.

If you do find a no-cost way of doing this, directly in VB (6 or .Net), I
would be very interested (as would my employers!).

I think you are going to reinvent the wheel. SFTP is part of SSH
family of protocols and it's quite complicated. Of course, one might
be able to write one even in VB, but this really makes no sense. It's
easier to purchase a component.
