1

Trying to upload file to SFTP server in my local. Hit error when connect SFTP.

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Could not resolve host 'sftp://localhost'

I've tried using command-line and FileZilla to connect. It can connected.

string host = "sftp://localhost";
int port = 22;
string username = "gth";
string password = "1234";
using (SftpClient client = new SftpClient(host, port, username, password))
{
    client.Connect();
}

It show me error below:

The host argument of SftpClient constructor takes hostname, not URL.

So just drop the sftp://:

host = "localhost";

or use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
