SFTP using HTTP Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through an HTTP proxy. 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()!

    // 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.httpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
    sftp.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(hostname: "sftp.example.com", port: 22)
    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
    // through an HTTP proxy. 
    // ..
