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:

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.

Object Oriented Interface


public function getExternalCryptoKeyID();


public function setExternalCryptoKeyID($value);

Procedural Interface


secureblackbox_sftpclient_get($res, 48 );


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

Config Settings (SFTPClient Class)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

SFTPClient Config Settings

AdjustFileTimes:   Whether file times should be adjusted after upload/download.

If this property value is True, file times (creation, access and last modification times) will be adjusted after upload/download operation.

AllAlgorithms:   Returns the list of algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to obtain the list of algorithms currently enabled in the component in the kexinit format.

ASCIIMode:   Whether ASCII transfer mode is used.

When this property is True, ASCII (text) transfer mode is used, otherwise the transfer is performed in binary mode.

AvailableSpace:   Returns details of server disk space availability. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.

This config property returns the details of the server disk space. The information is provided in the form of semicolon-separated entries: BytesOnDevice, UnusedBytesOnDevice, BytesAvailableToUser, UnusedBytesAvailableToUser, BytesPerAllocationUnit. You can use this property without parameters, or provide a specific mounting point in brackets: AvailableSpace(./path).

CaseConversion:   Whether file names and paths should be case-converted.

Defines whether file names are converted (on the destination system) to: lowercase (1), uppercase (2).

CaseSensitive:   Specifies if file paths are case-sensitive.

Set this property to True if all file names, paths and file masks should be case-sensitive.

CloseQuietly:   Controls the client's approach to session closure.

The quiet closure entails the client shutting down the connection immediately without expecting graceful notifications from the other side. When closing non-quietly, the client will close the connection gradually, starting from the SSH session before proceeding to shutdown-based socket closure. Both options have their pros and cons; choose carefully the option that you want to use going forward.

CommandTimeout:   Specifies the command timeout.

Specifies the command timeout (the maximum time to expect the result from the SSH command), in milliseconds.

CompressionAlgorithms:   Returns the list of compression algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of compression algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

CopyMode:   Defines what to do with each successfully copied file.

You could choose to: simply copy the file, delete each file's origin right after that file has been copied, or delete all original files only after all files have been copied.

DefaultTransferBlock:   Specifies the default transfer block size.

This setting provides means to adjust the size of the SFTP transfer block (i.e. the size of the content of the write and read packets). It can be used to influence the transfer speed.

DefOutboundBlockSize:   The default outbound block size.

Use this property to configure the outbound data block size.

DisablePacketFragmentation:   Enables or disables SSH packet fragmentation.

Use this property to enable or disable SSH packet fragmentation. This is one of the settings that is worth a look if encountering unexplained transfer issues.

EarlyIdString:   Enables the proactive approach to SSH handshake.

The rule of thumb in the majority of SSH environments is for the server to initiate the handshake with its identification string (and for the client to respond). By setting this property to true you can tell the client to initiate the handshake by sending out the identification string proactively without waiting for the server to send one in. This setting may help in situations where your SSH or SFTP connection fails unexpectedly due to a timeout or network error.

EncryptionAlgorithms:   Returns the list of encryption algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of symmetric encryption algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

ErrorOrigin:   Specifies whether the error is local or remote.

Use this property to check where the error took place.

ErrorSeverity:   Specifies whether the error is fatal.

Use this property to check whether the error is fatal or not.

FileHash:   Returns the hash of the specified file. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.

Use this property to request the hash of a remote file. Pass the file name in brackets: FileHash(./path/file.ext). You can adjust the hash algorithm using the HashAlgorithm configuration setting.

HashAlgorithm:   The hash algorithm to use for the protocol operations.

Specifies the hash algorithm to use for file protocol operations, such as FileHash.

HomeDir:   Returns a user's home directory. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.

Use this property to request a specific user's home directory on the server. Provide the username in brackets: HomeDir(user2).

IncomingSpeedLimit:   Specifies incoming speed limit.

Use this property to limit the maximum number of bytes per second that client may receive. The value of 0 (zero) means "no limitation".

KeepAlivePeriod:   The inactivity period after which a keep-alive signal will be sent.

Use this property to specify tunnel inactivity period (in milliseconds) after which a keep-alive signal will be sent. The default value is 0 (no keep-alive signals).

KexAlgorithms:   Returns the list of key exchange algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of key exchange algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

LocalCharset:   Charset used on the client machine.

This property specifies the charset used on the local client computer.

LocalNewLineConvention:   A character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the local machine.

This property contains a character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the local machine.

MacAlgorithms:   Returns the list of MAC algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of MAC algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

NewLineConvention:   A character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the server.

This property contains a character string for the end of line (EOL) indication used by the server. Usually its value is one of: 0x0d, 0x0d0x0a, 0x0a0x0d, or 0x0a, but it can differ for some servers.

OutgoingSpeedLimit:   Specifies incoming speed limit.

Use this property to limit the maximum number of bytes per second that client may send. The value of 0 (zero) means "no limitation".

PreserveExistingFileTimes:   Whether original file times should be restored upon transfer.

If the destination file exists and PreserveExistingFileTimes option is enabled, the class will remember the file's times before transfer, and restore them after the file has been transferred. The default value is False.

PublicKeyAlgorithms:   Returns the list of public key algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of public key algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

RedirectStdErr:   Whether to redirect output to StdErr.

If this property is True, all output will be redirected to StdErr.

RemoteCharset:   Charset used on the server.

This property specifies the charset used on the server.

SFTPBufferSize:   The size of internal buffer used for data transfer.

Use this property to control the size of the internal buffers used for data transfer.

SFTPServerExecutableLocations:   Location of the SFTP server executable.

Specifies the location of the SFTP server executable.

SocketRecvBufferSize:   The inbound socket buffer size.

Use this property to adjust the size of the inbound socket buffer.

SocketSendBufferSize:   The outbound socket buffer size.

Use this property to adjust the size of the outbound socket buffer.

StatVFS:   Returns VFS details. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.

This config property returns the VFS details of the server file system. The information is provided in the form of semicolon-separated entries. You can use this property without parameters, or provide a specific mounting point in brackets: StatVFS(./).

StdErrData:   The buffer for writing StdErr data.

This property represents a buffer where StdErr data is written by the class.

TempFolder:   Returns the temporary directory offered by the server. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.

Use this property to request a path to the temporary directory maintained by the server.

TempPath:   Path for storing temporary files.

This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored.

TreatZeroSizeAsUndefined:   Whether zero size returned by STAT should be considered as undefined.

This property specifies if the size of zero returned by the STAT command for a particular file should be considered as undefined. It makes sense to set this property to True, because some operating systems (e.g. Unix-based) return zero size for the files of certain type. For instance, most of the files contained in the /proc directory are reported as 0-sized, while actually not being empty.

TryPasswordAuth:   Specifies whether the component should attempt the password-based authentication if no password is set.

If the Password property is not set, the component disables the password-based authentication. Set this property to true to make it try the empty password instead.

UseStrictKeyExchange:   Specifies how strict key exchange is supported.

This setting controls whether strict key exchange (strict kex) is enabled to mitigate the Terrapin attack. When enabled, the class will indicate support for strict key exchange by automatically including the pseudo-algorithm kex-strict-c-v00@openssh.com for client classes and kex-strict-s-v00@openssh.com for server classes in the list of supported key exchange algorithms.

Since both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the class provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are:

0Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the class.
1 (default)Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue.
2Enabled, but reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will only continue if the selected encryption and MAC algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack.
3Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will fail.

UseTruncateFlagOnUpload:   whether to use the 'truncate' flag on file upload.

If this property is True, the existing files are opened truncated on upload, otherwise new files are created. The default value is True.

UseUTF8OnV3:   Whether to apply UTF-8 conversion for SFTP protocol versions 3 and lower.

If this property is True, UTF-8 encoding will be applied to file names for SFTP protocol versions 3 and lower.

Base Config Settings

ASN1UseGlobalTagCache:   Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.

This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

AssignSystemSmartCardPins:   Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.

This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:   Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.

This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount:   Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

MaxASN1BufferLength:   Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.

This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

MaxASN1TreeDepth:   Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.

This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

OCSPHashAlgorithm:   Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.

This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

OldClientSideRSAFallback:   Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.

Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "global", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

Tag:   Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

TLSSessionGroup:   Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.

Use this property to limit the search of chached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the classes.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

UseOwnDNSResolver:   Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.

Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

UseSharedSystemStorages:   Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.

Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation:   An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

UseSystemOAEPAndPSS:   Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.

This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

UseSystemRandom:   Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.

Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.
