VB.net and SFTP to download a file to a client

Question

I'm working on an ASP.net web application that is written in VB.net

I need to download a file from the server that the web app is hosted on, to a UNIX client.

What is the best way for me to go about this?

Answer 1

I have a similar setup where i simply use the "wget" command. I also have another system where security is more of an issue, so I wrote a client program in C++ to connect with sockets.

Those are your two major avenues though... unless I'm missing requirements you haven't mentioned...
