Upload dynamically created XML file using SFTP guidance

Question

Currently I am generating an xml file for download using posted fields with the following code:

    string attachment = "attachment; filename=" + FileName + ".xml";
    Response.ClearContent();
    Response.ContentType = "application/xml";
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment);
    Response.Write(Session["FileForDownload"]);
    Response.End();

This is working fine.

However I want to sftp upload the generated file to a specified directory on a server.

I have had success in connecting using ssh.net and have been able to create a new directory etc.

My question is how can I generate the file and then sftp it using ssh.net?

I've tried using a file stream with no success. I'm guessing the file needs to be temporarily stored and then retrieved for upload.

This is my current code segment for the specified problem:

        SftpClient sftp = new SftpClient("host", "user", "pwd");
        sftp.Connect();
        sftp.ChangeDirectory("directory/");
        Stream fs = File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath(@"filetobeuploaded"));
        sftp.UploadFile(fs, Session["FileName"].ToString());
        sftp.Disconnect();

I recognize that there won't be a file already on the server to upload.

Any help would be much appreciated as this is the final piece of the puzzle in my application.

Cheers

Just had a thought. I could create a temp file on the server, upload and then delete. This cannot be the most efficient way surely? — ED92

How is your operation being carried out? i mean do you want to generate xml and immediately upload it on SFTP server? or you generate XML some where and upload it from somewhere else in your code? — SoftSan

Fixed: I found a solution by generating a temp XML file in the server, uploading and deleting it. Thanks for your reply anyway
