SFTP using HTTP Proxy

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

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

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

    CkSFtp sftp = new CkSFtp();

    //  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.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com");
    sftp.put_HttpProxyPort(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.  
    success = sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22);
    if (success != true) {

    //  through an HTTP proxy.

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,

      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
