hello, i have a C# asp net webform project in visual studio 2022. when i will publish it to a webhotel, they have only SFTP server, while visual studio supports FTP server.

how to connect SFTP server to visual studio? i have tried to add SFTP server via manage Nuget manager, i get following error:

Error Could not install package 'SFTPServer 1.3.3'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

how should i solve the problem? i appreciate your step by step solution. very kind regards

Dear Team

This is my answer. Please help me to take a look to see if there is any issue.

Step 1: Publish Locally

In Visual Studio 2022, right-click your project → Publish.

Create a new Publish Profile.

Choose "Folder" as the publish target (instead of FTP).

Set a local folder, e.g.:

makefile
Copy
C:\PublishedWebApp\

Click Publish. Visual Studio will build and output all necessary files to that local folder.

🔹 Step 2: Upload Files to the SFTP Server

Since Visual Studio doesn’t support SFTP directly, use one of these options:

✅ Option A: Use a Free SFTP Client (Manual Upload)

Use WinSCP or FileZilla:

Download WinSCP: https://winscp.net/

Enter your SFTP credentials from your webhost:

Host: yourserver.com

  Protocol: `SFTP`
  
     Port: usually `22`
     
        Username and password
        
        Connect and navigate to the correct web root (e.g., `public_html`)

Upload the contents of C:\PublishedWebApp\ to the SFTP folder 🔹 Step 1: Publish Locally
