SFTP Resume Download

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to resume an SFTP download from a previous partial download. 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()

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
sftp.put_ConnectTimeoutMs(5000)
sftp.put_IdleTimeoutMs(10000)

# 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() + "\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

# Download the file:

localFilePath = "c:/temp/hamlet.xml"
remoteFilePath = "subdir1/subdir2/hamlet.xml"
# The ResumeDownloadFileByName method will check
# the local file and begin downloading the remote file
# at the appropriate point.  For example, if the local
# file is already 215624 bytes long, it will begin downloading
# the remote file at the 215625'th byte -- appending to
# the local file.
success = sftp.ResumeDownloadFileByName(remoteFilePath,localFilePath)
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Success." + "\n";
