SCP Upload File

See more SCP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH). Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ssh = chilkat.Ssh.new()

-- Connect to an SSH server:

-- Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
local hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"
local port = 22

local success = ssh:connect(hostname, port)
if not success then
    print(ssh.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.idle_timeout_ms = 5000

-- Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh:authenticate_pw("myLogin", "myPassword")
if not success then
    print(ssh.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
-- as the underlying transport in our SCP object.
local scp = chilkat.Scp.new()

success = scp:use_ssh(ssh)
if not success then
    print(scp.last_error_text)
    return
end

local remotePath = "test.txt"
local localPath = "/home/bob/test.txt"
success = scp:upload_file(localPath, remotePath)
if not success then
    print(scp.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("SCP upload file success.")

-- Disconnect
ssh:disconnect()
