FTP communications from within NAV

tarkmyler

I'm wondering if anyone has ever coded ftp communications inside of NAV using DOTNET calls. I've always used an external, script capable ftp client and then written the script, and shell command file to call the ftp client and passed the script on the fly using a System.Diagnostics.Process call to kick off the command. Relying on the 3rd party ftp client has some real drawbacks.

I've seen the System.Net.FTPWebRequest references in the post here ...

However, I need more than a simple transfer... SSH2 with Putty Private/Public keys, etc.

Thanks!

I've used the library SharpSSH in the past. Easy to use and you could access it straight from C/AL code.

I just use WinSCP and create .bat files, then call it using a SystemDiagnosticsProcess .NET call. WinSCP HAS a .NET interface (supposedly); but I could never get it to work. So I just punted and use the old, reliable "batch file" method.

Thanks for the comments. I use the OldNavDog method, but would like to leverage some of my new spiffy System.Reflexion muscles in C/Side. I will give the Erik's suggestion a test drive!

Here is a working solution using WinSCP.
