SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through an HTTP proxy. C

#include <C_CkSFtp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkSFtp sftp;

    success = FALSE;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    sftp = CkSFtp_Create();

    // To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    // and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    // and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    // HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    CkSFtp_putHttpProxyHostname(sftp,"www.my-http-proxy.com");
    CkSFtp_putHttpProxyPort(sftp,3128);

    // Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    // traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    // Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
    success = CkSFtp_Connect(sftp,"sftp.example.com",22);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSFtp_lastErrorText(sftp));
        CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
        return;
    }

    // Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
    // through an HTTP proxy. 
    // ..


    CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
