SFTP Write Text File

Demonstrates how to create a new text file on the remote SSH server, append text by calling WriteFileText one or more times, and then close the file. Visual FoxPro

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

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

* Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
loSftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000
loSftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 15000

* Connect to the SSH server.  
* The standard SSH port = 22
* The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
lcHostname = "sftp.example.com"
lnPort = 22
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
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

* Open a file on the server for writing.
* "createTruncate" means that a new file is created; if the file already exists, it is opened and truncated. 
lcHandle = loSftp.OpenFile("myTest.txt","writeOnly","createTruncate")
IF (loSftp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Write some text to the file:
lnSuccess = loSftp.WriteFileText(lcHandle,"ansi","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnSuccess = loSftp.WriteFileText(lcHandle,"ansi","1234567890")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnSuccess = loSftp.WriteFileText(lcHandle,"ansi","ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Close the file.
lnSuccess = loSftp.CloseHandle(lcHandle)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."
