I want to know the syntax of SFTP command that will execute by sql server job and what steps will I have to follow to do public key authentication ? I am using SFTP to transfer files from window server 2008 to another window server 2008.

There may be a way but I am not aware of one. I have done an FTP job inside of an SSIS package, SFTP was not an option with SSIS. I guess you could download WinSCP and write a batch script file to do the SFTP with keys. Then you could setup a SQL Job to call out xp_cmdshell to execute that WinSCP batch file. This is just the first thing that came to my mind. Hope this helps.

Hi Nitin,

I am also looking for the same solution- using SFTP move the files between windows Servers and implementing by TSQL in SQL job. Cna you please share your solution if you have it working. Thanks.

Not in T-SQL I am afraid but we have recently utilised WINSCP via the command line to SFTP to a client site inside an SSIS package and that was pretty straightforward. T-SQL you would have to use xp_cmdshell, if its enabled.

i've used filezilla from a command line, as well as CoreFTP; both of which support SFTP and other protocols;

i think FileZilla is free, and I know we paid for CoreFTP.
