Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
I recently discovered this crucial bit of information: I compile my project for x86 systems (vs Any CPU or x64). Just wanted you to be aware of this. Your last email stated “You must deploy the x64 ChilkatDotNet2.dll to x64 systems” which is not correct. This is an important consideration for “Click Once” deployments which […]
We’ve discovered that F-SECURE SSH/SFTP servers will disconnect during authentication if the SSH client identifier is “SSH-2.0-ChilkatSSH_2.0.0”. This may be overridden by setting the ClientIdentifier property to mimic PuTTY by using a string such as: “SSH-2.0-PuTTY_Local:_May_15_2009_16:25:24”
NOTE: If this error occurred while trying to establish an FTP data connection, also see this: https://cknotes.com/?p=282 A WSAEWOULDBLOCK error when trying to establish a TCP/IP socket connection indicates one of the following conditions: A firewall at either the client or server side is blocking the connection. There is no server listening at the remote […]
This blog post shows how to monitor the progress of HTTP uploads and downloads in C++. The first step is to create a C++ callback class that derives from the CkHttpProgress base class. You’ll be overriding one or more of the callback methods. For example: class MyHttpProgress : public CkHttpProgress { public: MyHttpProgress(void) { } […]

The platform is WinCE 6.0, use Chilkat_PPC_M5.lib Answer: The following code shows how to do it correctly: CkString str; […]
This example may help C++ programmers needing to scan email bodies for strings and automatically replace: void EmailBodyExample(void) { CkEmail email; // Set the plain-text and HTML alternative bodies. // Note: Because we’re using literal strings, the strings passed // to these methods are ANSI strings (i.e. they are 1-byte per char // in this […]

Question: Is it possible to delete email sitting on the POP3 server based on its age? For example, have it only delete mail from server older than 5 days. Answer: The POP3 protocol itself does not have the direct ability to delete email based on date/time (or any other selection criteria). The POP3 protocol only […]
Question: I would like to use your product to process mail on an MS Exchange server. Which product should I use; Chilkat MAIL or Chilkat IMAP? I saw in your examples that I can use both to connect to an Exchange server MAIL with Pop3 and IMAP for a direct login on the server but […]
To append to an existing file using the Chilkat SFTP component / library, open the file for “writeOnly” and “openExisting”, then call any of the Write* methods (such as WriteFileText or WriteFileBytes), and then close the handle by calling CloseHandle. As always, if a method returns a failed status, check the contents of the LastErrorText […]
