Question: Hi, I’m extremely interested in purchasing the Chilikat SSH dll. Let me describe my situation: I have several host sites (approximately 70 of them) that allow me to connect to their SSH servers. All of these sites have a database server (sitting on the same server as the ssh server) accepting connections on port 1937. I have been successful […]
This just came to our attention. When sending email using Exchange Server, a Ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit Permissions problem seems like an incorrect login/password error. A sample of the Chilkat.MailMan’s LastErrorXml is shown below.

Explicitly setting the date/time for a file on the FTP server is not a well defined task w/ the FTP protocol. Some servers support the MDTM command. However, MDTM is officially for getting a remote file’s date/time. Some FTP servers allow for using MDTM to set a remote file’s date/time (even though this is not a standard). Some FTP servers […]
See the Python documentation for Modules. Specifically, scroll down to the section entitled “The Module Search Path” and “Compiled Python Files”. ( Although the information for locating modules is for Python 2.6, I believe the same information applies to Python 2.5 at Python 2.5.4 Modules Documentation )
If your application is using a pre-installed certificate for creating a digital signature, or for decrypting, then it needs access to the private key. (By pre-installed, we mean a certificate that has been imported from a PFX (or via the browser) into a Windows registry-based certificate store.) If you chose to enable strong private key protection, then the Windows operating […]
This C++ example demonstrates how to derive a class from the CkSFtpProgress base class to implement progress monitoring and abort for SFTP: // To monitor SFTP progress, derive a class from CkSFtpProgress and // provide implementations for AbortCheck and PercentDone: class MySFtpProgress : public CkSFtpProgress { public: MySFtpProgress() { } virtual ~MySFtpProgress() { } // Called periodically during any SFTP […]
The AbortCheck event is standard in Chilkat .NET classes that involve communications over sockets (FTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, HTTP, etc.) or time-consuming operations such as zipping/unzipping large files. There are three steps to using AbortCheck: 1. Enable event callbacks by setting the EnableEvents property = true. Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan(); mailman.EnableEvents = true; 2. Set the HeartbeatMs property. The […]
The most common problem with reading email from GMail using Chilkat’s POP3 and IMAP API’s is the following: The user can see certain emails when interactively logged onto GMail with a web browser, but cannot see those emails using Chilkat’s POP3 or IMAP component. The problem is caused by a setting in your GMail account. The default setting causes an […]
This error is occasionally reported by customers using classic ASP: Server object error ‘ASP 0177 : 800401f3’ Server.CreateObject Failed The call to CreateObject in ASP looks like this: set cryptObj = Server.CreateObject(“Chilkat.Crypt2″) The problem is that IIS was unable to lookup “Chilkat.Crypt2” in the registry in order to get the location of the DLL file. There are many possible reasons […]
