(VBScript) SFTP Fsync -- Flush an Open File on the Server

Demonstrates how to flush the contents of an open file on the server. This example only works for servers that implement the fsync@openssh.com extension.

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

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp")
set sftp = CreateObject("Chilkat.SFtp")

' Pass a domain or IP address..
success = sftp.Connect("my-sftp-server.com",22)
If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySFtpLogin","mySFtpPassword")
End If

If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
End If

If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Open a file on the server for writing.
handle = sftp.OpenFile("myTest.txt","writeOnly","createTruncate")
If (sftp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Write some text to the file:
success = sftp.WriteFileText(handle,"ansi","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Make sure the server flushes what we wrote to the disk..
' (this is requires a server that implements the fsync@openssh.com SFTP protocol extension)
success = sftp.Fsync(handle)
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

success = sftp.WriteFileText(handle,"ansi","ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Close the file.
success = sftp.CloseHandle(handle)
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
