File Transfer Between Windows And Linux Using WinSCP In C#

Introduction

 
In this article, we will learn how to copy files from Windows to Linux and download files from Linux to Windows. Here I am using Visual Studio 2019 and .NetFrameWork 4.7 and WinSCP. WinSCP .NET assembly winscp.dll is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP’s scripting interface that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, SCP, and FTP sessions from .NET languages, such as C#, VB.NET, PowerShell, etc. Here I am using SFTP. SFTP is an interactive program that lets us upload and download files between a Windows and Linux Server.
 
For this operation, we need the following details of the Linux server.
  • HostName :
  • UserName :
  • Password :
  • SshHostKeyFingerprint :
  • SshHostKeyFingerprint looks like
    ssh-rsa 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    or

    ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Step 1
  1. Open Visual Studio 2019 click on create a new project.
  2. Select Windows Form App from templates and click on “Next”.
  3. Then give the project name as “FileTransfer” and then click “Create”.
Before coding add WinSCP reference to the project.
 

Creating Master Form and Child Forms

 
Step 2
 
Rename the form “Form1” to “FilesTransfer” and set “IsMdiContainer” property of the form to true and create two new forms, “FileUpload” and “FileDownload”.
 
The FilesTransfer form will look like the below image,
