I have been doing research on Secure FTP for a future business client. They wish to implement SFTP for document transport, and I will be writing C++ code under Windows to manage it.

>From the research I've done already, it seems most sftp server packages are proprietary but conform to the standard (RFC 2228). I know that OpenSSH provides a free sftp server but I can't find a version for Win32, and it seems that it doesn't port to Win32 well. (Ultimately this Win32 server requirement may not be necessary.) It might also be provided by default in Windows Server 2003, but I can't find any information on MSDN's site about sftp at all (GOSH that's the worst search tool ever).

I also need Win32 programmability, whether through a Windows API or an add-on library. There are plenty of interactive clients but I need something automatable. There is sftp access through standard .NyET libraries and Java classes, but you have to write managed code for .NyET and Java is out of consideration. I could roll my own but hey, code reuse is *so* fab these days.

If anyone could provide information on these topics to me, I would be grateful. I will browse anywhere, e-mail anyone, and maybe even *buy*a*book* to get what I want.

You can reply here or send a one to "svyerkgeniiy" at yahoo period com. Yes that's spelled correctly.
