SFTP Debug Log File Path

See more SFTP Examples

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

var success = false;

var sftp = new CkSFtp();

// 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:

var remoteFilePath = "...";
var localFilePath = "...";
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) {
    console.log(sftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}
