hi,<br />
<br />
i am building a FTP adapter in .Net. &nbsp;currently i am using FtpWebRequest because it supports FTPS natively. &nbsp;however, i know that there are other types of FTP servers out there such as SFTP servers. &nbsp;i need to build an adapter that will run in at least the majority of the FTP servers, therefore i need to account for SFTP servers as well (i am assumming they are the two main security standards). &nbsp;does FtpWebRequest support SFTP servers? &nbsp;if not, are there classes in .Net that will allow me to FTP files to SFTP servers securely? &nbsp;thanks. &nbsp;

does .Net's FtpWebRequest class work on SFTP servers?

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
