[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM Q476039: A problem occurs when file attachments are stored in the file system with middle-tier configuration]
Hello,
Alternatively, we could use the FileManager. I see that you have a lot of File System Providers except the secure ftp.
Could you add a Custom File System Providers for secure ftp ?

Hello,
We do not have a ready-made example that demonstrates how to implement a custom File System provider to read/write files from SFTP.
A base idea to implement a custom file system provider for a remote FTP host was described in the "How to Display an FTP Folder within the File Manager" section of the following documentation topic:
How to: Specify the File Manager Root Folder
You can use the approach demonstrated there as a starting point to implement your own custom provider for a remote SFTP server.
I.e. you need to override custom provider methods responsible for file/folder management (e.g., GetFiles, GetFolders, ReadFile, etc.) and use a corresponding SFTP API to implement required operations.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions or need further assistance.
