SFTP Create Directory

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to create a new directory on the remote SFTP server. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

# Important: It is helpful to send the contents of the
# sftp.LastErrorText property when requesting support.

sftp = chilkat.CkSFtp()

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
sftp.put_ConnectTimeoutMs(15000)
sftp.put_IdleTimeoutMs(15000)

# Connect to the SSH server.  
success = sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22)
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 != True):
    print(sftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Create a new directory:
success = sftp.CreateDir("myNewDir")
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
