See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through an HTTP proxy. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

sftp = Chilkat::CkSFtp.new()

# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
sftp.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com")
sftp.put_HttpProxyPort(3128)

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
success = sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22)
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server
