SFTP Connection in cloud environment

Hello,

I am in a cloud environment, and I need to be able to upload and download file from a SFTP.

Is there any built-in way in Epicor to pen a SFTP Client ?

Thanks,

I don’t think .NET ships with a native SFTP client, and unless Epicor includes one (which I have no idea if they do), you might be better off creating your own service outside of Epicor and use a third party library to handle the upload/download. Surely someone will correct me if I’m (likely) wrong, but that’s my 2 cents.

Looks like ssh.net would work

Hello,

Yes for on-premise we can but in the cloud they will not le us install a package.
That was my first idea.

Thanks,

If you don’t care about the data security, that is you are okay with FTP from a security standpoint but simply need to get the data up to a SFTP site, you could FTP the file to an intermediate cloud site (i.e DriveHQ) and then use a cloud integration tool to do the FTP to SFTP Transfer… ( i.e. zapier, integromat/make etc).

Another possibility that might work would be the Epicor Automation Studio.

Will function code allow calling System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()?

If so, Windows comes with a command line sftp client, which you should be able to call directly…

usage: sftp [-46aCfpqrv] [-B buffer_size] [-b batchfile] [-c cipher]
