(Go) SFTP Simplified Upload

Demonstrates how to upload a file to an SSH server in the simplest way -- by calling UploadFileByName and passing remote and local filepaths.

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

    sftp := chilkat.NewSFtp()

    // Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
    sftp.SetConnectTimeoutMs(15000)
    sftp.SetIdleTimeoutMs(15000)

    // Connect to the SSH server.  
    // The standard SSH port = 22
    // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
    hostname := "sftp.example.com"
    port := 22
    success := sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(sftp.LastErrorText())
        sftp.DisposeSFtp()
        return
    }

    // Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
    // both password-based authenication as well as public-key
    // authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(sftp.LastErrorText())
        sftp.DisposeSFtp()

    // After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(sftp.LastErrorText())
        sftp.DisposeSFtp()
        return

    // Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
    // Important -- the remote filepath is the 1st argument,
    // the local filepath is the 2nd argument;
    remoteFilePath := "hamlet.xml"
    localFilePath := "c:/temp/hamlet.xml"

    success = sftp.UploadFileByName(remoteFilePath,localFilePath)
