SFTP HardLink - Create a Hard Link using the hardlink@openssh.com Extension

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.

Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    var success: bool = false;

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

    const sftp = try chilkat.SFtp.init();
    defer sftp.deinit();

    // Pass a domain or IP address..
    success = if (sftp.connect("my-sftp-server.com", 22)) true else |_| false;

    // 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.
    sftp.hardLink("somefile.txt", "somefile2.txt") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
