(C# UWP/WinRT) SCP Upload to a Specific Remote Directory

Demonstrates how to upload a file using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH). The file is uploaded to a specific remote directory. It can be either a path relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account, or an absolute path on the remote filesystem. Obviously, in both cases the SSH user account must have permission to create or overwrite a file in the specified directory.

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

Chilkat.Ssh ssh = new Chilkat.Ssh();

// Connect to an SSH server:
string hostname;
int port;

// Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com";
port = 22;

bool success = await ssh.ConnectAsync(hostname,port);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..

// Authenticate using login/password:

// Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it

// This uploads a file to the "uploads/text" directory relative to the HOME
// directory of the SSH user account.  For example, if the HOME directory is /home/chilkat,
// then this uploads to /home/chilkat/uploads/text/test.txt
// Note: The remote target directory must already exist on the SSH server.
