SFTP using SOCKS Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 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 use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
    // properties prior to connecting:
    // The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
    // IP address:
    sftp.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
    sftp.put_SocksPort(1080);
    sftp.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
    sftp.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");

    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    sftp.put_SocksVersion(5);

    // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

    // Connect to the SSH server.  
    // The standard SSH port = 22
    // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
    const char *hostname = "sftp.example.com";
    int port = 22;
    success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << sftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";

    // Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
    // through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
