NT and Sftp?

[osquiabro]

if possible use sftp with NT? i have a client that move to sftp

"Please be informed that the MPMI system will be making changes to the FTP protocol and port as detailed below:
Protocol: FTP → SFTP
Port: 5010 or 21 → 9022 or 443
Effective Date: End of February"

No, SFTP is not supported. FTPS and FTPES are supported, but I suspect that won't help you in this case.
For SFTP I recommend using LibCurl. https://github.com/mikeduglas/libcurl

Thanks, and yes, libcurl works with sftp, but just  of curiosity why is NT not supported sftp?

SFTP is FTP using the SSH security protocol.
FTPS and FTPES are FTL using the SSL (TLS) security protocol.
NetTalk does TLS, but not SSH because NetTalk uses OpenSSL which doesn't do SSH.
It would be a lot of work, and another library, to add SSH, and frankly the demand for it does not justify the effort.
