(C++) Setting Environment Variables for SCP Transfers

Demonstrates how to set remote environment variables for an SCP transfer.

Note 1: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.79 or greater.

Note 2: Setting environment variables for SCP is only supported by some SSH servers.

    // Specify the environment variables to be set in JSON as follows.
    // This example sets two environment variables.  One is named "LCS_PASSWORD" and the other "MY_TEST_NAME".

    // Setting the SendEnv property causes Chilkat to set each environment variable on the SSH server
    // prior to doing the upload or download.
    scp.put_SendEnv(strEnvVars);

    // Do the upload..
    const char *remotePath = "starfish.jpg";

        return;
    }

    std::cout << "SCP upload file success." << "\r\n";

    // Disconnect
    ssh.Disconnect();
