SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through an HTTP proxy. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$sftp = chilkat::CkSFtp->new();

# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
$sftp->put_HttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com");
$sftp->put_HttpProxyPort(3128);

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
$success = $sftp->Connect("sftp.example.com",22);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
# through an HTTP proxy.
