A while ago we where migrating customers from our old FTP server to our brand new SFTP server :-)
But one of those customers had an automated script(PowerShell) in place uploading files during the night.
So we where searching for an solution to script SFTP uploads(which wasn't easy).
There are a few payed solutions for implementing SFTP capability`s in PowerShell and you can also use application like WinSCP to "fake" SFTP capability`s.
But i thought it would be nice if someone created an free PowerShell Snap-In that implements SFTP capability`s.
At this point I went in search for an open-source SFTP implementation for C#, I came across an open-source library that I used before(SharpSSH).
This library was the perfect candidate to embed in the PowerShell Snap-In.
So after some coding this was what i came up with : Download SFTP PowerShell Snap-In
I can present this Snap-In to you with many thanks to Tamir Gal and Will Fitch, these two guy`s created the great SharpSSH library on which the Snap-In is based !
Kind Regards,
Kevin
P.S.
Sample scripts to show you how the Snap-In works are included in the zip file. ;-)
==== UPDATE-2 16-4-2012 =====
Hi All,
I`m now in the testing phase of version 2 of the Snap-In.
Who would like to help and test it ?
You can download the v2-beta here !
There now is an extra CmdLet named Open-SFTPServerWithPublicKey which as the obvious name states allows you to authenticate with a public private key pair :-)
Please note that the private key must be in OpenSSH format and you must provide the full path to the file!
==== UPDATE 16-4-2012 =====
Hi All,
I uploaded a new version of the Snap-In, lets call it uhmmm v1.3 :-)
It includes port selection and PowerShell 3 support.
To get PowerShell 3 support i had to update the installer to include the right InstallUtil(With thanks to Rich Harrington).
==== UPDATE 15-4-2012 =====
Hi All,
I`m currently working on version 2 of the snap-in.
It`s going to include support for public-key authentication.
If there are any other feature requests please leave a comment.
