| - | The WinSCP .NET assembly ''winscpnet.dll'' is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP's [[scripting|scripting interface]] that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP sessions from .NET languages, such as [[#csharp|C#]], [[#vbnet|VB.NET]], and others, or from environments supporting .NET, such as [[library_powershell|PowerShell]], [[library_ssis|SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)]], ASP.NET and Microsoft Azure WebSite. | + | The WinSCP .NET assembly ''winscpnet.dll'' is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP's [[scripting|scripting interface]] that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP sessions from .NET languages, such as [[#csharp|C#]], [[#vbnet|VB.NET]], and others, or from automation environments supporting .NET, such as [[library_powershell|PowerShell]], [[library_ssis|SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)]] and Microsoft Azure WebSites and Functions. |
| The assembly is also exposed to COM, and as such it can be used from variety of other programming languages and development environments--e.g., [[library_com_wsh|WSH-hosted active scripting languages]] like JScript and VBScript, [[library_vb|Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)]], [[library_perl|Perl]], and Python. | The assembly is also exposed to COM, and as such it can be used from variety of other programming languages and development environments--e.g., [[library_com_wsh|WSH-hosted active scripting languages]] like JScript and VBScript, [[library_vb|Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)]], [[library_perl|Perl]], and Python. | ||
