SFTPClient Class
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The SFTPClient class provides client-side functionality for SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
Syntax
SFTPClient
Remarks
SFTP is a file transfer subsystem that runs on top of secure shell (SSH) connection. This means that SFTP uses the whole strength of security provided by the SSH protocol, at the same time providing strong file transfer capabilities.
Please do keep in mind that there exist two protocols that offer similar secure file transfer features. SFTP works on top of SSH and normally uses port 22. FTPS works on top of TLS (or SSL) and normally uses ports 21 and 990. The protocols are very different, so please make sure you are after the right component. This component works with SFTP. Use the FTPClient component to connect to FTPS servers.
Below are the typical steps that let you integrate SFTPClient to your project:
- Set up your Username and Password. SSH uses mandatory client-side authentication, so in most cases you need to provide your username, your password, or, sometimes, your private key. Use Key property to provide your key, if needed.
- Be ready to handle server authentication, which is also mandatory in SSH. SSH operates a concept of a trusted keys file, where keys of known servers are stored. You can assign a path to your own trusted keys file to the TrustedKeysFile property. When a client receives a server key, it reports it to your code via its KnownKeyReceived or UnknownKeyReceived event, depending on whether the key was found in the trusted list. If you leave TrustedKeysFile empty, SFTPClient will only be able to fire the UnknownKeyReceived event, since there will be no known keys to report.
- If needed, customize Proxy parameters and SSHSettings.
- Consider interacting more with SFTPClient by subscribing to AuthAttempt, AuthFailed, and AuthSucceeded events to be notified about the client authentication progress.
- When you are ready to connect, call Connect, passing the details of the server as parameters. During the initial handshake, the following events will fire: UnknownKeyReceived (or KnownKeyReceived), and then one or more AuthAttempt, AuthFailed and AuthSucceeded.
- Upon completion of the Connect method, the component is ready for file operations. Use DownloadFile, UploadFile, ListDir, DeleteFile and other file transfer methods to work with the server file system.
- When you are done with your work, call Disconnect to close the connection.
Some SFTP servers, primarily older ones, may expose various transfer issues. If you come across a weird issue that you believe should not be happening (such as repeated connection closures in the middle of the transfer), please try adjusting the following properties:
- AutoAdjustTransferBlock to false,
- PipelineLength to 1,
- UploadBlockSize to 16384,
- DownloadBlockSize to 16384.

ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (SFTPClient Class)
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Syntax
QString GetExternalCryptoKeyID();
int SetExternalCryptoKeyID(QString qsExternalCryptoKeyID);
Default Value
""
Remarks
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use ExternalCryptoKeySecret to pass the key itself.
The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.
Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.
Example:
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
Data Type
String
ExternalCryptoKeySecret Property (SFTPClient Class)

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(SFTPClientExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SFTPClient and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(SFTPClientExternalSignEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.
The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via SignedData parameter.
OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contain algorithm-dependent parameters.
The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.
A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16
A sample event handler that uses a .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following:
signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) =>
{
var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;
var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String();
var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1");
e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String();
};
FileOperation Event (SFTPClient Class)
Signifies the start of a file transfer operation.

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void FileOperation(SFTPClientFileOperationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SFTPClient and override this emitter function. virtual int FireFileOperation(SFTPClientFileOperationEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is fired each time the class starts an upload or download operation within a multi-file call. Operation defines the operation about to start, RemotePath specifies the name and path to the remote file, and LocalPath specifies the name and path to the local file.
If needed, set Skip to true to ignore the current file, or Cancel to abort the whole batch.
Supported operations:
csfoDownloadFile | 0 | Download file |
csfoUploadFile | 1 | Upload file |
csfoDeleteFile | 2 | Delete file |
