Can anyone recommend a good SFTP library to use? Right now I'm looking at products such as SecureBlackbox, IPWorks SSH, WodSFTP, and Rebex SFTP. However, I have never used any SFTP library before so I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
If anyone has used these before, is there any reason why I should go with product "X" over "Y"?
Thanks!
We bought a Rebex File Transfer Pack, and all is fine. The API is easy, we haven't any problem with comunications, proxy servers etc...
But I havent chance to compare it with another SFTP/FTPS component.

SharpSSH is a pure .NET implementation of the SSH2 client protocol suite. It provides an API for communication with SSH servers and can be integrated into any .NET application.
The library is a C# port of the JSch project from JCraft Inc. and is released under BSD style license.
SharpSSH allows you to read/write data and transfer files over SSH channels using an API similar to JSch's API. In addition, it provides some additional wrapper classes which offer even simpler abstraction for SSH communication.

For comprehensive SFTP support in .NET try edtFTPnet/PRO. It's been around a long time with support for many different SFTP servers.
We also sell an SFTP server for Windows, CompleteFTP, which is an inexpensive way to get support for SFTP on your Windows machine. Also has FTP and FTPS.
We use WinSCP. Its free. Its not a lib, but has a well documented and full featured command line interface that you can use with Process.Start.
