AWS Transfer for SFTP (Amazon S3)

See more SFTP Examples

Once you've setup your AWS Transfer for SFTP in the AWS Console, interacting with it is no different than any other SSH/SFTP server. AWS will provide a private key in PEM format. It is used for authentication (instead of a password). VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

set sftp = CreateObject("Chilkat.SFtp")

' Connect to the AWS SFTP server.
' Change the domain to your value.
domain = "s-123456df999999fab.server.transfer.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(domain,port)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Load your AWS SFTP private key PEM file..
set sshKey = CreateObject("Chilkat.SshKey")
keyText = sshKey.LoadText("qa_data/pem/s3_sftp_privateKey.pem")
If (sshKey.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sshKey.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

success = sshKey.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(keyText)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sshKey.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Authenticate with the SSH server using the private key.
success = sftp.AuthenticatePk("myUsername",sshKey)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
' Important -- the remote filepath is the 1st argument,
' the local filepath is the 2nd argument;
remoteFilePath = "hamlet.xml"
localFilePath = "c:/temp/hamlet.xml"

success = sftp.UploadFileByName(remoteFilePath,localFilePath)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("Success.")

outFile.Close
