Networking & wireless forum: Desperately need a recommendation for SFTP/SSH Application

Not necessarily, I also write languages but I have never written anything for SFTP/SSH automation.
You can still write languages in an uncluttered, straightforward environment.

I am sure there are great applications out there but that's why I am here, maybe someone can recommend.

Thanks for the input.

Since most OSes have a scheduler it seems that all we need is to write the script to do the work then put it in the scheduler.

That could be as simple as one line of script and one scheduled event.

-> Why would we turn this into some app with GUI and maybe add some skeuomorphism on top?

That's why I think this is something of an app you may want to have written just for you.

That would be in your spec to the software author. Could get costly.

One of my apps had to implement that so to avoid any copyright issues I had to get the spec for the protocol then write the transfer myself. This allowed me to put in a progress bar as required in the spec. But they pay so we write it.

What I am saying is it was never disclosed that the program needed Task scheduler to run. If you have used it you will noticed that there is an auto button which can seem like that's all you need.

I have no problems using task scheduler but at least I need to know that it is required.

Any other thoughts?

However I did run into a client that demanded it not use a task scheduler. So we changed the words to placate the client. I don't know why they were so adverse to the scheduler word but phobias abound out there and as an author you learn to sing along.

-> Sorry but is there some issue beyond the norm here?

Based on your professional opinion and what you have done.
Is there any application you can recommend?

FYI, I am not using this to upload files from NASA to the Rover or INT'l Space station, just a very basic upload.

Here I would have written the one line copy command (sftp and such is available on the command line with added command line apps.) Then scheduled it after testing.

I could expand the script to send me the results via email or such.

But it appears your spec needs to be written up and then put to some programmer to create it. If you don't want them to use the native task scheduler for what ever reason, tell them.
