SFTP using SOCKS Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy. Rust

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

let sftp = chilkat::SFtp::new();

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to connecting:
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
sftp.set_socks_hostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
sftp.set_socks_port(1080);
sftp.set_socks_username("myProxyLogin");
sftp.set_socks_password("myProxyPassword");

// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
sftp.set_socks_version(5);

// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// Connect to the SSH server.  
// The standard SSH port = 22
// The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
let hostname = "sftp.example.com".to_string();
let port = 22;
if sftp.connect(&hostname, port).is_err() {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
// through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
