free sftp C library, Most Wanted ;-)

[dan (dj74)]

Hi,

I'm looking for free sftp C library (GPL, BSD or other free license)
which can be used in gcc for windows (mingw)

I must send file via sftp connection and need to make small exe file
without installing additional stuff (like openssh etc.)

(I've just made it in PHP and because PHP supports sftp it was very easy
- about 10 lines of code) is it possible to make the same in C (gcc on
windows)?

Absolutely OT for c.l.c. To be helpful I tried to send you a private
e-mail but I get:

<[email protected]>: Name service error for
panie.co.mnie.pan.tu: Host
not found

Either use a visibly munged or visibly anonymous nym, or a *good* e-mail
address.

HaND,

You might want to read up on the difference between free software and open-source.

I know the difference between GPL, BSD etc., however I'm still for sftp
C library ;-(

I didn't see anything in his message implying that he was ignorant in
this respect.

I'm not sure on this one, but I think Free Software zealots wouldn't say the BSD license is a free one. Nevermind though.

Not at all, it's one of the oldest free software licences:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD

Hi,

ot here, but look at
http://www.openssh.com/
it contains sftp client/server moduls;
if their license (bsd) doesn't suit you, they list
alternatives.

hth,
Wolfgang

Your question is Off Topic. If you implement such a library we will help
you with the C issues (but not the networking issues). This is NOT a
"source wanted" group, it is a group for discussing the C language and
helping with C language problems, but not extensions.

Are you deliberately trying to mislead him? He said he wants a
*library*, you direct him to code that contains *applications*. There is
no *library* support for sftp there.

You are now *this* close to being plonked...

say the BSD license is a free one. Nevermind though.

Some people say that the GPL isn't "free as in freedom", whereas the BSD
one is free. There are valid arguments for both ways round (but note
that RMS himself admits that the BSD licence is 'free', he disapproves
of it on other grounds).
