SFTP upload with VBA

i need to be able to SFTP though VBA. I have an Access program that pulls data, manipulates it and now i have to find a way to upload the 开发者_如何学Pythonexcel 07 file through SFTP.

i've been looking on the net for days and can't find anything. I saw a similar topic here How to use sftp from within an MS Access database module?, and i'd love to find Mat Nadrofsky, because it seemed like he has a solution, i just cant understand any of it)))))))))))

so if someone can explain what that solution was about or has a different solution - i'd really appreciate it thank you

In the previous SO answer you linked, Mat Nadrofsky used an sftp command line client. In this example my sftp client is pscp.exe. That client is part of the PuTTY tools: PuTTY Download Page

I want to build and run a command like this to copy sample.txt to my home directory on the remote machine:

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" -sftp -l hans -pw changeme C:\Access\sample.txt 192.168.1.6:/home/hans/

So this procedure will build and run that command string.

Public Sub SftpPut()
    Const cstrSftp As String = """C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe"""
    Dim strCommand As String
    Dim pUser As String
    Dim pPass As String
    Dim pHost As String
    Dim pFile As String
    Dim pRemotePath As String

    pUser = "hans"
    pPass = "changeme"
    pHost = "192.168.1.6"
    pFile = "C:\Access\sample.txt"
    pRemotePath = "/home/hans/"

    strCommand = cstrSftp & " -sftp -l " & pUser & " -pw " & pPass & _
        " " & pFile & " " & pHost & ":" & pRemotePath
    Debug.Print strCommand
    Shell strCommand, 1 ' vbNormalFocus '
End Sub

You may prefer ShellAndWait instead of Shell, as David Fenton suggested in a comment on the previous answer.

You would need some SFTP ActiveX Control that works in Access. I know that our SFTP control is used by some customers in VBA and in Access in particular.

I have done it the following way in Access 97:

1. Buy a SFTP client that has an OCX that is available to MS Access
2. Write VBA code to use the SFTP control

In one particular case, there was no OCX - only executable - we had to do a batch file for that one.
