Is this product a server or client?

My team wants to use this product to create our own ftp server. We'll write an app that uses your dlls and will run as an ftp server with people logging in, and uploading and downloading files. This seems to be what the product is. It called "sftp server" and it says that you can create your own server. However, all of the documentation and sample projects are all about creating ftp CLIENTS that will connect to servers elsewhere. Does this product in fact allow us to create an app that will function as an FTP server? And if so, can anybody point me to documentation and sample projects that set this up?

Hello, the "sftp server" package supports creating sftp server, please check out the trial version on Nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/ComponentPro.SftpServer Example code snippet to setup: using System; using ComponentPro.Net.Servers; using ComponentPro.Net; using System.IO; namespace sftp_server { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { ComponentPro.Licensing.Common.LicenseManager.SetLicenseKey("4D16A969F0F8F1D9E3890245F9D3CEA7FCF3B648B88DABC5C28FDF36"); using (SftpSshServer _server = new SftpSshServer()) { // Add a private key SecureShellPrivateKey rsaKey = GenerateOrGetServerKey(); _server.HostKeyStorage.Add(rsaKey); // Root dir config string rootDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; Directory.CreateDirectory(rootDir); // Add granted user AddUser(_server, "test", "test", Path.GetFullPath(rootDir)); // Start listening on port StartServer(_server, 8888, true); // Hang (or do something) while listening for connections and serve while (true) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); } } } static int _currentPort = -1; ///

/// Starts or stops the server. ///

/// true to start the server; otherwise false to stop the server. static void StartServer(SftpSshServer server, int port, bool start) { if (start) { bool bind = false; if (_currentPort == -1) // Start the server for the first time? { _currentPort = port; bind = true; } else if (port != _currentPort) // If the server port has changed, we need to unbind the old port and bind to the new one. { // Unbind the old port. server.ClosePort(_currentPort); _currentPort = port; bind = true; } if (bind) { // Enable SFTP subsystem server.OpenPort(_currentPort, FileServerProtocol.Sftp); // Enable shell-like SCP subsystem server.OpenPort(_currentPort, FileServerProtocol.Scp); } // Start the server server.Start(); Console.WriteLine("SFTP and SCP file server is running. Port: {0}.", port); } else { // Stop the server server.Stop(); Console.WriteLine("Server has been stopped."); } } static SecureShellPrivateKey GenerateOrGetServerKey() { SecureShellPrivateKey rsaKey; string keyFile = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory "serverkey.key"; const string keyFilePassword = "pass"; if (!File.Exists(keyFile)) { // Generate a private key for the server if the key file does not exist. rsaKey = SecureShellPrivateKey.Create(SecureShellHostKeyAlgorithm.RSA, 1024); rsaKey.Save(keyFile, keyFilePassword, SecureShellPrivateKeyFormat.Pkcs8); } else { // Load the key file if it exists. rsaKey = new SecureShellPrivateKey(keyFile, keyFilePassword); } return rsaKey; } static void AddUser(SftpSshServer server, string username, string password, string path) { // Create a new user with the new virtual root path FileServerUser user = new FileServerUser(username, password, path); bool addToList = true; // If a user with the same username already exists, remove that one. if (server.Users.Contains(username)) { server.Users.Remove(username); addToList = false; } // Add the new user. server.Users.Add(user); } } }
