Yes, this happened. We needed to connect to an SFTP server using C#
Shoutout to Luke for this one, I appreciate it.
//******** method that will connect to an sftp server
//**** variables are set in constants in the web config
static private void Connect2SFTP()
{
try
{
PrivateKeyFile keyfile = new PrivateKeyFile(privkeypath);
var keyfiles = new[] { keyfile };
var authmethods = new List<AuthenticationMethod> { new PrivateKeyAuthenticationMethod(username, keyfiles) };
var connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(host, port, username, authmethods.ToArray());
using (var client = new SftpClient(connectionInfo))
{
client.Connect();
//client.ChangeDirectory(remoteDir);
client.Disconnect();
}
} catch (Exception e)
{
using (StreamWriter logFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(AWARDSPRINGLOG, true))
{
logFile.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + ": ERROR during Award Spring File Creation");
logFile.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + " " + e.Message.ToString() + " " + e.StackTrace.ToString());
}
throw new Exception(e.Message);
}
}
