Hi,

Please let me know:
1.> If WinSCP can be used in vb6 application. &
2.> If yes, is there any help or documentation on how to use WinSCP in VB6. All i can find is for VB.net and C#.

Re: Can we use WinSCP with VB6 application.

Short answer, No. Not according to the documentation for the .NET & COM Library; However it does look like you can do it with VBScript and VBA .

https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library

WinSCP .NET Assembly and COM Library


The WinSCP .NET assembly winscpnet.dll is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP’s scripting interface that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, FTP, WebDAV and SCP sessions from .NET languages, such as C#, VB.NET, and others, or from environments supporting .NET, such as PowerShell, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), ASP.NET and Microsoft Azure WebSite.

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., WSH-hosted active scripting languages like JScript and VBScript, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), Perl, and Python.

Re: Can we use WinSCP with VB6 application.

You can use WinSCP .NET assembly in VB6. I know that people succeeded with that.
For example, see

https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24173
I have no experience with VB6 though, so I cannot give you details.
You just have to register the assembly as a COM somehow.
It will be similar as in VBA:

I stand corrected, and I apologize for misleading sumangeorge.
