(JavaScript) SFTP using HTTP Proxy

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

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

var sftp = new CkSFtp();

// 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.
sftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
sftp.HttpProxyPort = 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 = sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(sftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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