Hi Unattainbale,

Thank you for posting here.

As I know, .net only provide SFTP namespace which related to SFTP. It does not provide library like FtpWebRequest class of FTP to upload and download. Here is the MSDN document of SFTP namespace for your reference.

If you want to upload and download file via SFTP, I suggest to use SSH or WinSCP.

You could download the source file from code project for reference.

SSH
