(CkPython) SFTP Simplified Upload

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

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

sftp = chilkat.CkSFtp()

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

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

print("Success.")
