Deleting files via SFTP

Question

Are there any C# open-source components that allow me to delete files via SFTP?

Answer 1

Try SharpSSH.

Answer 2

Not open source, but you could try edtFTPnet/PRO, which supports all SFTP operations including deleting of files.

As jasonh says, granados does SSH, not SFTP.

Answer 3

You can use OpenSSH and issue sftp batch commands. All you have to do on the c# side is launch the sftp process with the correct command line.

Answer 4

Tamir Gal's Sharp SSH is quite popular open source implementation of SFTP for .NET. Give it a try.

If you preffer fully supported commercial component can try our Rebex SFTP. Following code ilustrates the concept:

using Rebex.Net;

// create client and connect  
Sftp client = new Sftp();
client.Connect(hostname);
client.Login(username, password);

// delete the file
client.DeleteFile("/path/to/the/file");

// disconnect  
client.Disconnect();
