Common API for SFTP and FTP
On this page:
Protocol-agnostic file transfer API
SFTP and FTP - two different protocols for the same task
FTP and SFTP (implemented in Ftp
and Sftp
objects) are two different file transfer protocols.
Implementation is completely different, but they both cover same task - transferring files over the network.
Read more about the differences between FTP, FTPS, SFTP, FTP/TLS, Secure FTP and SCP.
IFtp - protocol agnostic file-transfer API
IFtp
interface supports most Ftp
and Sftp
methods, events and properties.
For a list of all IFtp
methods, events and properties, see IFtp reference guide.
// declare a protocol-independent variable
IFtp client;
// get connected and authenticated FTP or SFTP object
// you have to provide your own implementation for GetIFtpInstance method
client = GetIFtpInstance();
// the remaining code works with both FTP and SFTP sessions
client.ChangeDirectory(targetDirectory);
client.PutFile(@"C:\MyData\file.txt", "file.txt");
// IFtp supports Disconnect as well
client.Disconnect();
' declare a protocol-independent variable
Dim client As IFtp
' get connected and authenticated FTP or SFTP object
' you have to provide your own implementation for GetIFtpInstance method
client = GetIFtpInstance()
' the remaining code works with both FTP and SFTP sessions
client.ChangeDirectory(targetDirectory)
client.PutFile("C:\MyData\file.txt", "file.txt")
' IFtp supports Disconnect as well
client.Disconnect()
