Do you need SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or FTP-over-Something?

Well, SecureBlackbox ( http://www.eldos.com/sbb/ ) provides both. See http://www.eldos.com/sbb/delphi-sftp.php 
for details about SFTP or http://www.eldos.com/sbb/delphi-ftps.php  for FTPS 
information.

SecureBlackbox contains it's own socket components and also supports both 
SFTP and FTPS for Indy.

Wow, that was quick :)

I need to do some FTP-ing from my program and some clients cannot use normal 
FTP, only SFTP. Seems to become quite common these days. I have been told it 
is not SSL FTP, just plain SFTP. SSH and FTP-over-Something are terms I do 
not understand. I need what most FTP programs also have, the choice to use 
FTP or SFTP. Does that clarify it?

You can ask your clients, what SFTP tools they use. If then mention Putty or 
OpenSSH, then it's definitely SFTP.

SFTP is part of SSH protocol family. SFTP is a binary protocol, which is not 
compatible in any way with regular FTP.
You can use SFTPBlackbox and it's components for Indy to add SFTP 
capabilities in the way, similar to IdFTP component, i.e. using similar 
calls.

Well, this is all very confusing. I thought there was only one SFTP. So Indy 
does not support SFTP? Considering how common this is, I find that rather 
weird..

I looked into this Blackbox product but it does not support 2006 (yet?). 
It's also quite expensive (same price as what I paid for the entire BDS 
2006!).

Thanks,

Mike

It's very unlikely that it will ever do this...

Can you please tell me where you found this? 2006 is supported from the same 
day 2006 was released.

SFTPBlackbox is available separately and it costs $199. Other products that 
you can find will have comparable price.
