FTP Over SSH (SFTP) In delphi 2010

Question

I'm writing a simple Delphi App to upload a few files to a SFTP Server. i thought i would be able to use a TIdFTP indy client but it seams as tho their is not an option for FTP Over SSH (SFTP) does anyone know of any Free / Open source Components for Delphi 2010 that would support FTP over SSH (SFTP). Due to security reasons im unable to use Active X controls so please do not respond with Active X solutions.

Thanks for the help,

Kyle

SFTP and "FTP over SSH" are two separate things, and neither involves SSL (as someone else has suggested). SFTP is a sub-protocol of SSH while "FTP over SSH" is good/bad ol' FTP tunnelled through an SSH connection with port forwarding.

Either way, what you're after is a Delphi SSH library. I was unable to find a free SSH library for Delphi and ended purchasing SecureBlackbox (http://www.eldos.com/), which is excellent by the way, although SecureBridge (http://www.devart.com) also looks pretty good.
