SFTP Debug Log File Path

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

Chilkat C++ Downloads

C++
#include <CkSFtp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkSFtp sftp;

    // Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
    sftp.put_VerboseLogging(true);
    sftp.put_DebugLogFilePath("/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt");

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

    const char *remoteFilePath = "...";
    const char *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) {
        std::cout << sftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }
    }
