JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var sftp = new CkSFtp();

// Pass a domain or IP address..
success = sftp.Connect("my-sftp-server.com",22);
if (success == true) {
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySFtpLogin","mySFtpPassword");
}

if (success == true) {
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp();
}

if (success !== true) {
    console.log(sftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Create a hard link on the server.
// We'll create the hard link named "somefile2.txt" in our HOME directory
// which links to the file somefile.txt also in our HOME directory.
success = sftp.HardLink("somefile.txt","somefile2.txt");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(sftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Successfully created hard link.");
