I chose an assembly from blackbox (think that was the name) but I recognise that your advice was good and thank you.

Browse All TopicsHow do you carry out secure FTP from a .NET application? In this case VB.NET but C# code will also help.
I see that there are lots of free applications at

One of these could be used to securely run FTP from within my application. Is it best to use one of these from my application or to write something? How would it be carried out?

At the link you posted there are not lots of free SFTP applications - only one or two (for windows and with command line support). For example putty: ham/putty/ 0.60/htmld oc/ Chapter 6.html
-pw mypassword
mpare.php

You could run a command line command from within your .NET application that would transfer the files.
Something like:
psftp user@myserver.mydomain.com
But then you have to run the commands with a (generated) batch file or hassle with standard input/output.
A way better option is to use a SFTP component, but that is not free:

You can then use normal programming techniques to transfer the files.
