SFTP Upload from Local Filesystem

Demonstrates how to upload a file to an SSH server. There are no limitations on file size, and the file is streamed directly from the local filesystem. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\SFtp;

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

$sftp = new SFtp();

// Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp->ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000;
$sftp->IdleTimeoutMs = 10000;

// 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;
try {
    $sftp->Connect($hostname, $port);

    // Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
    // both password-based authenication as well as public-key
    // authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
    $sftp->AuthenticatePw('myLogin', 'myPassword');

    // After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
    $sftp->InitializeSftp();

    // Open a file for writing on the SSH server.
    // If the file already exists, it is overwritten.
    // (Specify "createNew" instead of "createTruncate" to
    // prevent overwriting existing files.)
    $handle = $sftp->OpenFile('hamlet.xml', 'writeOnly', 'createTruncate');

    // Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
    $sftp->UploadFile($handle, 'c:/temp/hamlet.xml');

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // This is important.  You must close the handle on the server.
    // Otherwise open handles will accumulate on the server until eventually a limit
    // is reached and the server will fail on a call to OpenFile.
    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Close the file.
    $sftp->CloseHandle($handle);
