SFTP PrivateKey from Database

Question

Hello everybody,

We are going to buy the professional version of this product on C# environment. We are really amazed how easy it is to work with this beautiful library.

For us, there is just one thing which doesnt match our requirements.

We store the private key for an sftp connection in a database, but we were not able to find a way to tell that edtftp. For the moment we can create a temp file an and use this as a private key file, but that cannot be the solution at all.

So question, is there a better way to do this?

Thx in advance

Answer 1

Thanks. I'm glad you like the library.

So basically what you want is an equivalent of SecureFTPConnection.ClientPrivateKeyFile which uses an in-memory object rather than a file. Something that takes a byte[] or a MemoryStream perhaps. Is that right?

Yes that is exactly what i would like to have...

thanks for your fast reply, library is bought now :)

Answer 3

Thanks again. We'll get back to you regarding the in-memory keys soon.

Answer 4

We've added a property called ClientPrivateKeyBytes, which is a byte array of the private key.
