Converting an AbstractFile to an IO.Stream

[User (Old forums)]

#21515 |

Can somebody please tell me how to get a remote file with Xceed sFtp as a System.IO.Stream instead of  an FileSystem.AbstractFile? Or, It is a way to convert an FileSystem.AbstractFile to an IO.Stream?

 

Thanks

Hi Ali,

Please refer to the following example:

   static void StreamExample()
   {
      using( SSHClient ssh = new SSHClient() )
      {
         ssh.Connect( “host” );
         ssh.Authenticate( “USERNAME”, “PASSWORD” );

         using( SFtpSession sftp = new SFtpSession( ssh ) )
         {
            AbstractFile remoteFile = new SFtpFile( sftp, “MyFile.dat” );

            using( Stream stream = remoteFile.OpenRead() )
            {
               /* You now have a System.IO.Stream from the remote file.
                * You can read the remote file’s data. */
            }
         }
      }
   }

If you want a System.IO.Stream to upload data to a remote SFtp file, we suggest you take a look at the technique used in an example in our documentation. It uses a Stream to upload while maintaining good performance:
