Demonstrates how to create a new directory on the remote SFTP server. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSftp

lnSuccess = 0

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

* Important: It is helpful to send the contents of the
* sftp.LastErrorText property when requesting support.

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

* Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
loSftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 15000
loSftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 15000

* Connect to the SSH server.  
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
* both password-based authenication as well as public-key
* authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
lnSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
lnSuccess = loSftp.InitializeSftp()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Create a new directory:
lnSuccess = loSftp.CreateDir("myNewDir")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

RELEASE loSftp
