(Node.js) SFTP Debug Log File Path

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

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
    if (os.arch() == 'ia32') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-win-ia32');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-win64'); 
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {

function chilkatExample() {

    var 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:

    var remoteFilePath = "...";
    var localFilePath = "...";
    var 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;
    }
