(Tcl) SFTP Debug Log File Path

Demonstrates how to use the DebugLogFilePath property to get information if a Chilkat method crashes or hangs.

load ./chilkat.dll

set sftp [new_CkSFtp]

# Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
CkSFtp_put_VerboseLogging $sftp 1
CkSFtp_put_DebugLogFilePath $sftp "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt"

# Make the call that crashes or hangs,
# for example, if the method is DownloadFileByName:

set remoteFilePath "..."
set localFilePath "..."
set success [CkSFtp_DownloadFileByName $sftp $remoteFilePath $localFilePath]

# Note: If the method returns control to your application code, then it did not crash within Chilkat.
# The DebugLogFilePath property causes all information that would be recorded in the LastErrorText to be emitted to the
# log file (with immediate file write flushing, i.e. no buffering).  Thus, in a crash situation,
# the log file will contain information up to the point of the crash.

if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkSFtp_lastErrorText $sftp]
    delete_CkSFtp $sftp
    exit
}
