SCP Upload Contents of String to Remote File

See more SCP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload the contents of a string variable using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH). The text is uploaded to a file in specific remote directory. If the file did not already exist, it is created. If it already existed, it is overwritten. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$ssh = chilkat::CkSsh->new();

# Connect to an SSH server:

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

$success = $ssh->Connect($hostname,$port);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ssh->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
$ssh->put_IdleTimeoutMs(5000);

# Authenticate using login/password:
$success = $ssh->AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ssh->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
# as the underlying transport in our SCP object.

# The utf-8 byte representation of the string will be uploaded.
# See https://www.chilkatsoft.com/p/p_463.asp for a list of valid charsets.

# This uploads to the "uploads/text" directory relative to the HOME
# directory of the SSH user account.  
# Note: The remote target directory must already exist on the SSH server.

# To include the utf-8 preamble (also known as the BOM),
# prefix the charset name with "bom:".  Any charset that can 
# optionally include a BOM can be specified in this way.

# Uploads to a remote file that contains text in the 
# utf-8 representation, including the BOM at the start of the file.
