SFTP Upload and Download to a StringBuilder Object

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to SFTP upload from a Chilkat StringBuilder object, and download into a StringBuilder object. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let sftp = CkoSFtp()!

    // Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
    sftp.connectTimeoutMs = 5000
    sftp.idleTimeoutMs = 10000

    // Connect to the SSH server and then authenticate.
    var port: Int = 22

    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
