​​SFTP Server in Delphi - check out a new Delphi example by CleverComponents.

The program implements a fully functional SFTP server with multi-session support, which works via the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
The server allows you to define the listening port and the local binding host, load or generate an RSA host key, and choose cryptographic and integrity algorithms, which will be used during the SSH session.

The sources for Clever SFTP Server are available on GitHub 🔥

​​Recently, I've found an interesting article, which describes how to create an SSH tunnel and connect to a database through this tunnel using FireDAC.

The theme was interesting to me because I worked on the SFTP server component, which utilizes SSH in Delphi. Now, we are working on the SSH tunnelling. So I decided to investigate the examples from this article. The sources are available on GitHub. They use libssh2.

Good reading, I indeed set up an SSH channel and connected FireDAC to my sample DB 🔥
