SFTP Simplified Upload

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file to an SSH server in the simplest way -- by calling UploadFileByName and passing remote and local filepaths. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const sftp = try chilkat.SFtp.init();
    defer sftp.deinit();

    // Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
    sftp.setConnectTimeoutMs(15000);
    sftp.setIdleTimeoutMs(15000);

    // Connect to the SSH server.
    // The standard SSH port = 22
    // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
    const hostname = "sftp.example.com";
    const port = 22;
    sftp.connect(hostname, port) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // 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") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
    sftp.initializeSftp() catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
    // Important -- the remote filepath is the 1st argument,
    // the local filepath is the 2nd argument;
    const remote_file_path = "hamlet.xml";
    const local_file_path = "c:/temp/hamlet.xml";

    sftp.uploadFileByName(remote_file_path, local_file_path) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
