(C#) SFTP Debug Log File Path

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

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

Chilkat.SFtp sftp = new Chilkat.SFtp();

// Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
sftp.VerboseLogging = true;
sftp.DebugLogFilePath = "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt";

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

string remoteFilePath = "...";
string localFilePath = "...";
bool 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) {
    Debug.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}
