SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

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

import { SFtp } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const sftp = new SFtp();

  // 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.  
  try {
    await sftp.connectAsync('sftp.example.com', 22);
  } catch {
    console.log(sftp.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

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