.PPK file and upload automation in C#

2012-02-24 01:56

I was able to run and activate the WinSCP.com file, but how do you script with C# how to include a username, a private PPK file to open the sftp gateway and then upload a file from a network directory? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

OK, so how am I supposed to do it if I do not have a password, just a username and a ftp site with port information? I also want to know how can I write this in C#?

1) Have you been given the private key by the S/FTP site administrator, or have you generated one yourself?
2) Were you given the key in PPK or OpenSSH format?

Assuming (please check & confirm) that you've been supplied with the Private Key, and that it's in PPK format, you can use this command to establish your connection with the S/FTP site:

open <protocol>://<username>@<hostname> -privatekey="<FullPathToKeyFile>.ppk" -hostkey="<your servers host key>"

example:

open sftp://SFTPUser@SFTPServer.domain.local -privatekey="D:\sftp\keys\SFTPUser.ppk" -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 e2:dd:11:2e:82:32:ab:62:59:1c:c8:62:1d:2b:28:99"
