SFTP revisited

[Heather Kirk]

Hey there...

I am in need of an SFTP solution as part of my application, on order to implement

a new spectacles lab interface.

I did search the forum, but the latest reference (October 2023) suggested

that SFTP has (at least at that time) not been added to VAST.

Can you let me know if that has changed?

If not, does anyone have an SFTP solution they wouldn't mind me using?

Thank you, in advance, for any and all responses...

Regards,

As an interesting added tidbit of information, when I ask Gemini to provide me some code

in VAST, it references  AbtSshSftpClient, which does not appear to exist.

But it did make me think that it likely got that from somewhere....perhaps an answer exists....

Hi Heather, AI's tend to make things up such that they look familiar and plausible. (It's their nature.)

By using the Application Editions browser and the View menu options to filter for *ftp*, I found SstFtpClient in SstFtpSslCommunications.

It has methods that talk about using TLS, so just possibly it supports both secure and regular FTP.

You will still have a good bit of work to determine if that will address your needs and how to actually use it. There might even be documentation in the VAST Web Information Center.

Good luck!

I had found that FTPS stuff, but I thought that is different than SFTP.
