SFTP protocol supports custom file attributes, and this looks like a useful feature. However, in order to use this, support at both the server and the client would be needed.

You're right, which is why I'm using Rebex FileServer to make one. This is from a customer's requirement that actually makes sense and opens the opportunity to offer other customers an extended ability on their server. Somewhat like giving us the ability to have a custom virtual file system. Maybe this is something that could be added to that?

Greetings from OZ! The system I am writing is using Rebex for both client and server. The reason I chose Rebex from other comms libraries was because you have both client and server and customized file systems etc. This could be an additional reason for others to use a complete Rebex solution?
My first question to you way back when was about custom virtual file systems. This is still related to the original question.
I now use MountCapableFileSystemProvider for the sftp like system and add LocalFileSystemProviders to add common(to all clients) folders like Office forms and newsletters antd this works well.
The custom file attributes (as well as the actual physical locations of the files) are all stored in a database. To download lists, required custom commands which Rebex supplies the ability for
Thanks.
