Demonstrates how to use the DebugLogFilePath property to get information if a Chilkat method crashes or hangs.

Chilkat C Downloads

C
#include <C_CkSFtp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkSFtp sftp;
    const char *remoteFilePath;
    const char *localFilePath;

    success = FALSE;

    sftp = CkSFtp_Create();

    // Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
    CkSFtp_putVerboseLogging(sftp,TRUE);
    CkSFtp_putDebugLogFilePath(sftp,"/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt");

    // Make the call that crashes or hangs,
    // for example, if the method is DownloadFileByName:

    remoteFilePath = "...";
    localFilePath = "...";
    success = CkSFtp_DownloadFileByName(sftp,remoteFilePath,localFilePath);

    // Note: If the method returns control to your application code, then it did not crash within Chilkat.
    // The DebugLogFilePath property causes all information that would be recorded in the LastErrorText to be emitted to the
    // log file (with immediate file write flushing, i.e. no buffering).  Thus, in a crash situation,
    // the log file will contain information up to the point of the crash.

    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSFtp_lastErrorText(sftp));
        CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
        return;
    }



    CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
