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.

These adjustments will put SFTPClient in very conservative transfer setup. While this setup may be quite sluggish with modern servers, it should make SFTPClient interoperable with most older servers.

ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (SecureBlackbox_SFTPClient Class)

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

public function getExternalCryptoKeyID();
public function setExternalCryptoKeyID($value);

secureblackbox_sftpclient_set($res, 48, $value );

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 an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the 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 (SecureBlackbox_SFTPClient Class)

secureblackbox_sftpclient_register_callback($res, 7, array($this, 'fireExternalSign'));

Parameter List

 'operationid'
 'hashalgorithm'
 'pars'
 'data'
 'signeddata'

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 class via the SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the 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 the .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(); };
