Can anyone recommend a free or open source Secure FTP (SFTP) library that
can be used from VB.NET?

I can see a number of commercial solutions but if there's a library we can
use without getting bogged down in licensing issues it would make things
much easier for me...

Many thanks,

Oh well, I guess paid is better than nothing! :)

I did eventually find an open source project that looked very promising
here:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/sharpssh.aspx

I tried and tried but couldn't get it to work properly though, certain
operations kept locking it up. Probably my fault but I don't have any more
time to look into it at the moment.

I tried the Rebex product you mentioned and it worked perfectly straight
away, so I guess that'll be the one I go with.

Many thanks,
