I currently use Marshallsoft FTP Client Engine Library (FCE4XB) for 
standard FTP and it works great. Now a client requires SFTP SSH file 
transfer. Chilkat Software has an ActiveX version and a Delphi XE2 DLL 
API. Has anyone used either version? Any other options available? I also 
use xb2.net but the client requires SFTP and not FTPS.

Any help would be appreciated.

John.

Not sure what you need but if you only have to transfer or receive files
you could use the command line version of WinSCP.

Thanks Thomas. I will take a look at WinSCP. I was working yesterday 
with Chilkat's SSH/SFTP ActiveX component and it seems to work pretty 
well so far. I would prefer straight DLL instead of ActiveX so that the 
user doesn't have to register anything.

Ok - just for your information, this is basically what I do:

Step 1 - Create a WinSCP script file on-the-fly, see
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting for details.

Step 2 - Call it via RunShell:

RunShell( "/console /log=D:\wwwroot\hp2\winscp_session.log /script=D:\wwwroot\hp2\upload.scp",  "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" )

Thanks Thomas! I will take a look at WinSCP more closely. It looks like 
it may be the best solution.

At least when you look at the cost - it's free

If I remember correctly Chilkat's controls do not have to be registered 
to work.

Hi Simon,

How would I call them? The library works great as ActiveX, but I would 
much rather not have to register the DLL. Unfortunately, most of my 
clients have their systems locked down and they have to get their tech 
department (or outside consultant) come over and register the DLL on 
each workstation.

So how do I access the controls without ActiveX? I downloaded the 
ActiveX controls, so do I have to download the COM controls? I guess I 
need to dig deeper into this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Simon,

They certainly do need to be registered, as we found out the hard way. 
This is also my main objection against using Activex components.

Kind regards,

Followup:

I decided to purchase the SFTP ActiveX Component from Chilkat Software 
(US$149). Works great! Need to register one DLL file, would have liked 
to avoid this.

FWIW, here is a code example:

   Sftp := CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')
   oSftp:UnlockComponent("xyz")

   oSftp:Connect(cHostname,nPort)
   oSftp:AuthenticatePw(cUser, cPassword)
   oSftp:InitializeSftp()

   //**  Open a directory on the server...
   cHandle := oSftp:OpenDir(cDir)
   oDirListing := oSftp:ReadDir(cHandle)
   oSftp:CloseHandle(cHandle)

   //**  Download file...
   oSftp:DownloadFileByName(cRemotePath+cFile,cLocalPath+cFile)

   //**  Upload file...
   oSftp:UploadFileByName(cRemotePath+cFile,cLocalPath+cFile)
