SFTP using SOCKS Proxy

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an SFTP/SSH server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy. Zig

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

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

    // 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();

    // To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
    // properties prior to connecting:
    // The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or
    // IP address:
    sftp.setSocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
    sftp.setSocksPort(1080);
    sftp.setSocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
    sftp.setSocksPassword("myProxyPassword");

    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    sftp.setSocksVersion(5);

    // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

    // Connect to the SSH server.
    // The standard SSH port = 22
    // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
    const hostname = "sftp.example.com";
    const port = 22;
    sftp.connect(hostname, port) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server
    // through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
    // ...
