SFTP HardLink - Create a Hard Link using the hardlink@openssh.com Extension

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to create a hard link on the SFTP server using the hardlink@openssh.com extension. Note: This only works on servers supporting the hardlink@openssh.com extension.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

C++

#include <CkSFtp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkSFtp sftp;

    // Pass a domain or IP address..
    success = sftp.Connect("my-sftp-server.com",22);
    if (success == true) {
        success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySFtpLogin","mySFtpPassword");
    }

    if (success == true) {
        success = sftp.InitializeSftp();
    }

    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << sftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Create a hard link on the server.
    // We'll create the hard link named "somefile2.txt" in our HOME directory
    // which links to the file somefile.txt also in our HOME directory.
    success = sftp.HardLink("somefile.txt","somefile2.txt");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << sftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "Successfully created hard link." << "\r\n";
    }
