(Visual Basic 6.0) SFTP Debug Log File Path

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

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

Dim sftp As New ChilkatSFtp

' Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
sftp.VerboseLogging = 1
sftp.DebugLogFilePath = "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt"

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

Dim remoteFilePath As String
remoteFilePath = "..."
Dim localFilePath As String
localFilePath = "..."
Dim success As Long
success = sftp.DownloadFileByName(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
    Debug.Print sftp.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
