Hi,

Does anyone know if Indy10 can be used to do SFTP (not FTPS)?

I have already found that I can do it with Synapse or use the
SFTP-component from SecureBlackBox. But since we use Indy10 I'd like to
use Indy also for SFTP.

TIA,

Ronald

Indy does not have an SFTP component available. However, you can implement
SFTP yourself using TIdTCPClient. Look at RFC 913 for details:

Simple File Transfer Protocol
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0913.txt

I'll suggest adding SFTP to a later release of Indy.

Incorrect protocol, Remy. Given that he also mentioned FTPS(should be
FTP/S) , I believe he meant S/FTP. S/FTP is Secure FTP (aka FTP over SSH).

Indeed, I mean 'FTP over SSH'. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol (where it's also
called SFTP).
If Indy doesn't support it, I will have to choose between Synapse and
SecureBlackBox.
