Question

I am trying to save a sftp file in C#. I have found this example on SaveFileDialog but I cannot get it to work on my application (in fact, i get an error whenever I try to use SaveFileDialog saying it doesn’t exist and I cannot resolve the issue)

Is this the right way to save a file? I am not clicking a button, but getting an sftp file from another location, and saving it locally so I can execute some commands on it.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 if that helps.

Edit: I think I confused people with the example that I found. Here is how I am getting the files:

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
   Sftp sftp = new AmexSFTP.src.Sftp(Config.sSFTPUrl,
                                     Config.sSFTPAccount,
                                     Config.sSFTPPasswd);
   // Connect to SFTP server
   sftp.Connect();

   List<string> InputFiles = sftp.GetFileList("output");

   //Save files in for each loop here...
  ....}

    public Sftp(string sftpHost, string user, string password)
        : base(sftpHost, user, password)
    {
        Init();
    }

    private void Init()
    {
        m_monitor = new MyProgressMonitor(this);
    }

    public List<string> GetFileList(string path)
    {
        List<string> list = new List<string>();
        foreach (Tamir.SharpSsh.jsch.ChannelSftp.LsEntry entry in SftpChannel.ls(path))
        {
            list.Add(entry.getFilename().ToString());
        }
        return list.ToList();
    }

Maybe SaveFileDialog is not correct? It was what I found for all my google results, so I assumed it was.

Thanks!

I think you are confusing things a bit. Unless I am mistaken the Page_Load() method is part of an ASP.NET WebForms project. If that’s the case then you are mixing technologies: SaveFileDialog is a WinForms control which is normally used for client applications, not a web pages’s code-behind code.
