I have a requirement to create a simple database in Access to collect some user data that will be loaded into another database for further reporting. There will be a module in the Access db that when invoked by the user (probably by clicking a button) will output a query to a delimited file. The user also needs a mechanism (for example a form with a button) to easily transfer the file to a remote server, using sftp. Does anyone have an idea of how to accomplish this?
You can simply write a call to the sftp command line client via a batch file if you want to accomplish that.
Check out the Shell() function in VBA.
Under the click event of the button on your form add in the code:
I’ve used this before to just copy files straight across network shares etc. to share data from an in-house Access DB. Of course you could get more fancy if necessary.
