SFTP Create Directory

See more SFTP Examples

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

require '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.new()

# 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() + "\n";
    exit
end

# 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() + "\n";
    exit
end

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Create a new directory:
success = sftp.CreateDir("myNewDir")
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Success." + "\n";
