(JavaScript) SFTP using SOCKS Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 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 use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to connecting:
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
sftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";
sftp.SocksPort = 1080;
sftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin";
sftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword";

// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
sftp.SocksVersion = 5;

// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

// Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
// through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
