Before I make a purchase of either Chilkat or West Wind Internet & Client Tools which are both around the same price.
At this moment its simply to get a SFTP function but both of these come with lots of other stuff.
Does anyone else pay for either of these and have any recommendations of one over the other?
Thanks
Chris.

I use Chilkat for many things. The error information you can get from Chilkat is really good. Zip, Http, JSON, and XML off the top of my head. It's best to create the global object on _screen and unlock it in the app startup. There is only one DLL to worry with. It gets registered in the registry, or you can setup registry free COM. Support has been really good when I've needed it. There are great examples. Some parts don't need an unlock code. We purchased the bundle and use it in both FoxPro and .NET projects. IF you register it the COM, you need to keep current. When a client gets an updated version of the dll on the machine, your unlock code may not work with it. Found this out the hard way. But the error information told me why it wasn't working.
Back to vacationing, Tracy

Such a shame. SFTP is built into Linux and MacOS, and you can use the pysftp (https://pysftp.readthedocs.io/en/release_0.2.9/) module to use SFTP directly in Python, even in Windows!

Well if you just want to use raw scp and sftp, you can always use PuTTY and script it:

In the past, I have set up a couple of clients with overnight routines that process data and upload results using PuTTY.

Thanks Ted, again I am looking for ease of deployment.

Hi, Andy:
That's true, but I've learned not to depend on much supplied by MSFT beyond the OS. Accessories come and go and dependencies on things included with this week's version of Windows (like the Desktop ODBC drivers, OLE Controls, etc.) may have a limited lifetime, whereas software you install and control are more likely to be there long after MS's attention has gone elsewhere.
PuTTY comes with it's own .msi files. If you are using an installer for your deployment, you can just add the .msi into the mix. Add your configuration items and public keys into the mix, and you should be good to go.
Thanks ed I will check it out, but I fear ease of deployment might be the compromise ?
