Answer 1

You can simply write a call to the sftp command line client via a batch file if you want to accomplish that.

Check out the Shell() function in VBA.

Under the click event of the button on your form add in the code:

mySFTPCall = "sftp "
Call Shell(mySFTPCall, 1)

I've used this before to just copy files straight across network shares etc. to share data from an in-house Access DB. Of course you could get more fancy if necessary.
