openssh unix dev - Feb 2007 - Open SSH : SFTP Query

Dear Respected One,

I am Deepak. I am currently working on SFTP application. I ve
downloaded your opnessh 4.5 (latest ve
rsion). I want a simple sftp library which I can link to my test
application and perform ftp operati
ons. Is it possible to seperate sftp out of ssh and form a sftp
library ? And also please provide me
 the APIs in sftp which are similar to login, connect, get, put etc
APIs in the normal FTP libraries
. Since I am very new to this SFTP, i am not able to find out the
similar APIs in this SFTP package.
Please help me in this regard.

Thank You & Regards,

Deepak D.

It is certainly possible, but..

OpenSSH sftp is not intended to be a library, and that means it would
require a lot of work to transform it into one.

The recommended way to interface with the sftp program in OpenSSH is
through sftp batch files and/or popen().
