SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

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

    // 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) {
        std::cout << sftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
    // through an HTTP proxy. 
    // ..
