See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file to an SSH server in the simplest way -- by calling UploadFileByName and passing remote and local filepaths. PowerShell

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

$success = $false

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

$sftp = New-Object Chilkat.SFtp

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 15000
$sftp.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 -ne $true) {
    $($sftp.LastErrorText)
    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 -ne $true) {
    $($sftp.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
$success = $sftp.InitializeSftp()
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($sftp.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
# Important -- the remote filepath is the 1st argument,
# the local filepath is the 2nd argument;
$remoteFilePath = "hamlet.xml"
$localFilePath = "c:/temp/hamlet.xml"

$success = $sftp.UploadFileByName($remoteFilePath,$localFilePath)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($sftp.LastErrorText)
