See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to create a hard link on the SFTP server using the hardlink@openssh.com extension. Note: This only works on servers supporting the hardlink@openssh.com extension.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let sftp = CkoSFtp()!

    // Pass a domain or IP address..
    success = sftp.connect(hostname: "my-sftp-server.com", port: 22)
    if success == true {
        success = sftp.authenticatePw(login: "mySFtpLogin", password: "mySFtpPassword")
    }

    if success == true {
        success = sftp.initializeSftp()
    }

    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Create a hard link on the server.
    // We'll create the hard link named "somefile2.txt" in our HOME directory
    // which links to the file somefile.txt also in our HOME directory.
    success = sftp.hardLink(oldPath: "somefile.txt", newPath: "somefile2.txt")
    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Successfully created hard link.")
