(PowerShell) Ftp2 Debug Log File Path

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

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Assemblies

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-9.5.0-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$ftp = New-Object Chilkat.Ftp2

# ...
# ...

# Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
$ftp.VerboseLogging = $true
$ftp.DebugLogFilePath = "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt"

# Make the call that crashes or hangs,
# for example, if the method is PutFile:

$remoteFilePath = "..."
$localFilePath = "..."
$success = $ftp.PutFile($localFilePath,$remoteFilePath)

# 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 -eq $false) {
    $($ftp.LastErrorText)
    exit
}
