WinSCP .NET Assembly

WinSCP .NET Assembly winscp.dll is C# wrapper around WinSCP scripting interface that allows connecting to a remote machine and manipulating remote files over SFTP, SCP or FTP session from .NET applications.

This feature will be available only with the next release.

Using WinSCP .NET Assembly

First, you need to create an instance of WinSCP.SessionOptions class and fill in all necessary information to allow an automatic connection and authentication of your session.

Then you create an instance of WinSCP.Session class. Optionally you hook handlers of some events of the class. Then you open the session using Session.Open method, passing instance of your WinSCP.SessionOptions.

Once the session is opened, you can use any of the WinSCP.Session methods to manipulate remote files. For example use Session.GetFiles to download files, Session.PutFiles to upload files or Session.SynchronizeDirectories to synchronize directories.

Example

using WinSCP;
 
class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Setup session options
            SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions();
            sessionOptions.Protocol = SessionProtocols.Sftp;
            sessionOptions.HostName = "example.com";
            sessionOptions.UserName = "user";
            sessionOptions.Password = "mypassword";
            sessionOptions.HostKey = "ssh-rsa 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx";
 
            // Connect
            Session session = new Session();
            session.Open(sessionOptions);
 
            // Upload files
            TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();
            transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;
 
            OperationResult<TransferArgs> transferResult;
            transferResult = session.PutFiles("d:\\toupload\\*", "/home/user/", false, transferOptions);
 
            // Throw on any error
            transferResult.Check();
 
            // Print results
            foreach (TransferArgs transfer in transferResult)
            {
                if (transfer.Error == null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Upload of {0} succeeded", transfer.FileName);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Upload of {0} failed: {1}", transfer.FileName, transfer.Error);
                }
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", e);
