SFTP Write Text File

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to create a new text file on the remote SSH server, append text by calling WriteFileText one or more times, and then close the file. 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();

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp->put_ConnectTimeoutMs(5000);
$sftp->put_IdleTimeoutMs(15000);

# Connect to the SSH server.  
# The standard SSH port = 22
# The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
$hostname = "sftp.example.com";
$port = 22;
$success = $sftp->Connect($hostname,$port);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
# both password-based authenication as well as public-key
# authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
$success = $sftp->AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
$success = $sftp->InitializeSftp();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Open a file on the server for writing.
# "createTruncate" means that a new file is created; if the file already exists, it is opened and truncated. 
$handle = $sftp->openFile("myTest.txt","writeOnly","createTruncate");
if ($sftp->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Write some text to the file:
$success = $sftp->WriteFileText($handle,"ansi","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}
