Windows – How to i pull a file using SFTP in windows

sftpwindows

Can any one suggest me how to start working in SFTP?(Any books/web sites)

I have to create a batch program to pull a file from a url using SFTP in windows.

I have no idea about SFTP.

A batch program which pulls the file from a url using FTP is already existing.

PLease find below for the commands used in the above existing batch program.

set PgpID=gecorpcard
set FtpID=ftp.corpcard.com
set FtpUser=xxxxxxx
set FtpPswd=xxxxxxx
set FtpMethod=binary
set FtpGetUser=xxxxxxx
set FtpGetUserPswd=xxxxxxx
set PgpKeyID=0x29A6A1F6

Here the server name is psftppgp201.It means the file has to be uploaded into the server from the third party url.

Look at the Putty package, i am pretty sure there is a CLI sftp included in it that can be scripted.

Windows – How to find what process is holding a file open in Windows

I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.

To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.

If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.

Examples

c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

Linux – Securing file system for secure SFTP server

SFTP by nature isn't insecure; letting them into your whole filesystem is. Check this out to see how you can enable SFTP access on a chroot basis, which will lock in the directories they can access to, say, their home directories, or wherever you want them to upload.

On Linux, I would pay attention to this part (configuring /etc/ssh/sshd_config):

  Match Group sftponly
         ChrootDirectory %h
         ForceCommand internal-sftp 
         AllowTcpForwarding no

This means that anyone in the 'sftponly' user group would be restricted to their home directories.

See the link for more, and also read the sshd_config manpage. Hope that helps.
