SFTP HardLink - Create a Hard Link using the hardlink@openssh.com Extension

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to create a hard link on the SFTP server using the hardlink@openssh.com extension. Note: This only works on servers supporting the hardlink@openssh.com extension.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Rust

let mut success = false;

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

let sftp = chilkat::SFtp::new();

// Pass a domain or IP address..
success = sftp.connect("my-sftp-server.com", 22).is_ok();
if success {
    success = sftp.authenticate_pw("mySFtpLogin", "mySFtpPassword").is_ok();
}

if success {
    success = sftp.initialize_sftp().is_ok();
}

if !success {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Create a hard link on the server.
// We'll create the hard link named "somefile2.txt" in our HOME directory
// which links to the file somefile.txt also in our HOME directory.
if sftp.hard_link("somefile.txt", "somefile2.txt").is_err() {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Successfully created hard link.");
