SFTP support on Cumulus Toolsbox??

Hello all Weather Enthusiasts,

Due the unsafe nature of the FTP protocol, this will be phased out in few weeks from our main web server, there is any possibility to upgrade the Toolsbox for support the encrypted SFTP protocol?

Thanks in advance,

When my server changed to SFTP nothing altered at my end. My files just continued to upload.
I did however add a second SFTP with a different password and changed login to upload through this just in case

But either work.
Cheers

I can look into support for SFTP in Toolbox. You realise Cumulus does not support SFTP either?

I´m aware of this situation, I think this solution http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SFTP should be ok for us.

Our network management (a .gob domain) is very strictly and they are scheduling security enhancements.

Your support will be very appreciated.

Marco-Luis raised an enhancement request, but my reply was that there are no free SFTP components for Delphi (as far as I am aware) and I don't think there is sufficient demand to justify the cost of commercial components.

And I'd have to write a whole lot of new code.

Would it be possible to use Putty, or at least PLink? Which is open source...

Probably your best bet is to use Plink, the command-line connection tool. If you can start Plink as a second Windows process, and arrange for your primary process to be able to send data to the Plink process, and receive data from it, through pipes, then you should be able to make SSH connections from your program.

This is what CVS for Windows does, for example.

Or PSFTP, perhaps. But the wiki's batch file solution is probably better than grafting an external application onto Cumulus.
