I'm looking for an "easy" way for PowerBuilder to perform a secure file copy from the local client computer to a server  folder (and copy from server to local computer), by providing a user/password, certificate, etc. that will be recognized by the server.  I don't want to use a share on the server due to the quantity of users and maintenance involved.  I don't want to have to install any software on the client computers.  I don't need to incorporate encryption.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

Hi Gary,

In addition to using WinSCP via an assembly and C#, WinSCP is also COM enabled and so you can also do something like the following:

Integer li_rc

oleobject iole_winscp_ftp
iole_winscp_ftp = create oleobject
li_rc = iole_winscp_ftp.ConnectToNewObject("WinSCP.Session")

//Begin file transfer code...


//End file transfer code.

Destroy iole_winscp_ftp

If going the COM route just remember to register the DLL via something like the following:

regasm winscpnet.dll /codebase /tlb

HTH...regards,

Mark

Thank you for pointing out the COM option. I didn't know about that. I don't know which way I will go with it yet. I will probably try it both ways, also taking into consideration the deployment requirements.

Thank you, Chris!  I appreciate the prompt reply.  I really don't know the best way to do it, but I thought I might end up using sftp.  I was hoping not to have to buy anything, but I am looking at all options.  Getting purchase orders and vendors approved is quite a process.  We already use WinSCP for GUI and command line sftp, and I found that they have an assembly that I might try with C#.  I already have created a .NET assembly with Visual Studio involved in this process, so I should able to incorporate it there.  It is free.  Do you want me to let you know how it goes?
