SFTP connection

[Bluejay07]

Hello,

I am using VB6 and I'm looking into creating a connection to an SFTP server. I will only be downloading files, not uploading them. From the research I have done, port 22 is used but all other links I found are obsolete.

I do not know how to go about creating a connection to an sftp server. Can anyone provide me with assistance on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.

I haven't found any free component that does this but I'm sure there are $$ ones around. Most appear to go for around $150-$200 per developer.

I usually use a free command-line SFTP client that uses the StdIO streams, and run it as a child process redirecting its I/O to anonymous pipes that my VB6 program then talks to.
