SFTP Debug Log File Path

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use the DebugLogFilePath property to get information if a Chilkat method crashes or hangs. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

sftp = chilkat2.SFtp()

# Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
sftp.VerboseLogging = True
sftp.DebugLogFilePath = "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt"

# Make the call that crashes or hangs,
# for example, if the method is DownloadFileByName:

remoteFilePath = "..."
localFilePath = "..."
success = sftp.DownloadFileByName(remoteFilePath,localFilePath)

# Note: If the method returns control to your application code, then it did not crash within Chilkat.
# The DebugLogFilePath property causes all information that would be recorded in the LastErrorText to be emitted to the
# log file (with immediate file write flushing, i.e. no buffering).  Thus, in a crash situation,
# the log file will contain information up to the point of the crash.

if (success == False):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
