I'm building a website. I have the SFTP login credentials for the server.
I'm trying to make it so that a user can select a file on their hard-drive, and upload the file to a remote computer through SFTP.
Is this possible? How would I do this?

Answer 1

I assume you use (or can use) PHP. You didn't specify, what technology you are using.
Start with reading:
POST method uploads - for transferring a file from the client's machine to your website
PHP SFTP Simple File Upload or How do i use phpseclib to upload file from my php server -> someOther server? - for transferring a file from your website to the SFTP
That combined together gets you a code like:
include('Net/SFTP.php');
$uploaded_file = $_FILES["attachment"]["tmp_name"];
$sftp = new Net_SFTP("example.com");
if (!$sftp->login('username', 'password'))
{
die("Connection failed");
}
$sftp->put(
"/remote/path/".$_FILES["attachment"]["name"],
file_get_contents($uploaded_file));
This is a very simplified code, lacking lots of validation and error checking.
The code uses the phpseclib library.

If you are in Windows, you can use a FTP Client like WinSCP... If you are in Linux, use te SCP command:
scp /home/me/myfile.dat user:password#remoteserver:/remotedir
