SCP Upload File

See more SCP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload a file using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH). CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

ssh = chilkat.CkSsh()

# 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 != True):
    print(ssh.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 != True):
    print(ssh.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
# as the underlying transport in our SCP object.
scp = chilkat.CkScp()
