Could anyone recommend a class or control I can use to add the ability to send a file using sftp without too much complication to a VFP6 app? The ocx we've using forever only does FTP. I looked at the old version of West Wind Client Tools that works with VFP 6 but it looks like it only does FTP as well.
I haven't used it for SFTP, but the Chilkat COM control has it. https://chilkatsoft.com/
https://www.example-code.com/foxpro/sftp_uploadFile.asp
It looks like SFTP requires a license.

The free WinSCP application handles FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, WebDAV and S3. It also has a COM-callable .NET assembly that you could use. It's usable from VBScript so I assume you could also use it directly from VFP, or use VBScript or Powershell from VFP etc.

You totally can use WinSCP with VFP. If I get my act together, I'll have a session on this in a future Virtual Fox Fest. The code is basically written. At the pace I'm writing the white paper, it'll be ready in 2028!
To the original poster, there are several VFP only solutions out there with SFTP and VFP. Rick Strahl's tools are one and I think I found one one GitHub as well.

The current version of Westwind Client Tools supports sftp. I'm not sure which version added it.

I use the current version of West Wind, and it absolutely has SFTP. We use it in several of our programs.

Thanks guys! I think chillkat is going to be the easiest to implement and if that doesn't work out I will definitely look into automation with winscp. I've been using West Wind with VFP9. However, this particular app is still compiled in VFP6 for now. The version listed on the West Wind site for use with VFP6 does not appear to support sftp unless I just missed it in the source code. Thanks again! -Jeff

Jeff, I wrote a full VFP based FTP class and used it until our FTP Provider demanded we go SFTP so I tried many solutions and the end result was the purchase of Chilkat which is simple, fast and very flexible.... and includes many other features/classes you can use. I am now embarking on using Rest API for use in interfacing into our MRP/ERP system.
I certainly recommend the software, but note that some of the VFP examples are a mixture of VFP and C# and you may well need to do some code manipulation to get them working!
