SFTP Resume Upload

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to resume an SFTP upload to an SSH server. The ResumeUploadFileByName method checks the size of the file on the remote server and begins uploading from the appropriate position in the local file. Xbase++

//  than the local file, then nothing more is uploaded.
