Check this out  http   www tamirgal com home dev aspx Item sharpSsh     SharpSSH is a pure  NET implementation   of the SSH2 client protocol suite  It   provides an API for communication with   SSH servers and can be integrated into   any  NET application       The library is a C  port of the JSch   project from JCraft Inc  and is   released under BSD style license       SharpSSH allows you to read write data   and transfer files over SSH channels   using an API similar to JSch s API  In   addition  it provides some additional   wrapper classes which offer even   simpler abstraction for SSH   communication       SharpSSH project page at source forge    http   sourceforge net projects sharpssh

Bitvise has a great product called Tunnelier which can bridge FTP to SFTP  You could then use the standard FtpWebRequest in  NET  http   www bitvise com ftp-bridge I am currently testing this for my own purposes and will update with my findings  update This idea is not ideal for unattended automation  unless you want to jump through hoops keeping the client connected as a service or something  which I accomplished by using NSSM  I ve tried CLI automation with various clients including bitvise and winscp com  I ve also tried these  net class libraries  Winscp  SSH NET  SharpSSH  and the commercial SecureBlackBox SFTP client  SecureBlackBox worked well  but it s very heavy-weight  can be quite expensive depending on the licensing  and I didn t agree so much with it s API  Hands down  the best free sftp client for  NET development is winscp  I ve written a few classes and extension methods to make working with it easier  Winscp Extensions
