How to implement application for secured ftp in qt

Rajkumar_91

I have trying to create qt application for download and upload file from secured FTP server in qt. I have no idea how to achieve this. Please guide me how to do?

Hi
You could use
https://github.com/lvklabs/QSsh

~~QNetworkAccessManager should handle the protocol seamlessly, it's just a get() to download and post() to upload~~

EDIT: I was wrong

Hi
Thank you for your response. I will try QSsh with my application.

Hi,
I tried QSsh in my application, once I build my application with QSsh than I get error like error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'QSsh-master/lib.obj' .

@Rajkumar_91
Then I can only imagine that file does not exist there, for whatever reason.

Personally I'd try the Qt non-third-party-application approach suggested by @VRonin , which just means you write code within the normal Qt framework. Unless you need an external library for your purposes, "KISS"!

Oh, so QNetworkAccessManager does handle SFTP protocol natively ?
Way better then :)

Update: It supports FTP/s but SFTP is different.

Thanks @mrjj for making me see my mistake.

You can use libcurl to do it. It's the reference network library for me.

libcurl page: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
Exmaple in sftp: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/sftpget.html
C++ wrapper over the main library for C-phobics like me: https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp
