SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through an HTTP proxy. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local sftp = chilkat.SFtp.new()

-- To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
-- and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
-- and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
-- HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
sftp.http_proxy_hostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
sftp.http_proxy_port = 3128

-- Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
-- traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

-- Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.
local success = sftp:connect("sftp.example.com", 22)
if not success then
    print(sftp.last_error_text)
    return
end
