SFTP Upload in VB6 with Progress Monitoring
The PercentDone event is called when the percentage completion increases by one or more points. To use events in VB6, Dim the variable WithEvents. Then name the event callback using the variable name. (You should already understand how to use VB6 events in general prior to using the Chilkat objects. A good VB6 book is […]
FTP to HP3000 Servers
To upload a file via FTP to an HP3000 server, you would type something like this from an interactive FTP prompt: Put myfile.txt myfile;rec=-32,1,f,ascii;disc=250000 To duplicate this with Chilkat, call PutFile such that the remote filename is “myfile;rec=-32,1,f,ascii;disc=250000”. For example: // This is a C# example, but the same concept applies w/ using Chilkat in […]
Chilkat 9.0.3 Release Notes
SMTP (MailMan) Added the MailMan.SendMimeBytes method to allow for sending the exact MIME source of an email from a byte array. This is useful for emails that have 8bit encodings. (With ActiveX, byte arrays are passed as Variants containing a byte array.) This method is also useful for sending DKIM signed email, because the output […]
SFTP Server Error Messages – sometimes obscure and misleading
Two recent customer support issues prompted this post. In both cases, the error reported by the SFTP server was both lacking in information as well as somewhat misleading. One brand of server was: SSH-2.0-http://www.sshtools.com J2SSH [SERVER] The other was: SSH-2.0-WS_FTP-SSH_7.1 With the 1st SSH server, the following error occurred when trying to open a file: […]

Verified key acceptance and signature matching between Chilkat, OpenSSL, and .NET MIME / DKIM Fixed DKIM and DomainKeys signature generation. Tested and verified DKIM / DomainKeys […]
Username in LastErrorText
Question: I discovered that the program is trying to use the Computer System Username to instead of the username given in the program code to connect to the server. Answer: The Chilkat component is not trying to use the Computer System username. The LastErrorText will (almost) always include the process’s logged-on username in the beginning, along […]
SFTP GetFileSize32 returns 4294967295
Question: I have an issue with the SFTP component. When using the GetFileSize32 it returns 4294967295 for a file with length of 1324 bytes. L When using the GetFileSizeStr it returns Nothing for a file with length of 1324 bytes. L Answer: GetFileSize32 returns -1 when it fails, so I suspect that if your variable […]
VB.NET HTTP Download with percent-done progress monitoring
Here is an example: Dim WithEvents http As Chilkat.Http Private Sub http_OnPercentDone(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As Chilkat.PercentDoneEventArgs) Handles http.OnPercentDone ProgressBar1.Value = args.PercentDone End Sub Private Sub HttpDownloadTest() http = New Chilkat.Http() Dim success As Boolean ‘ Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days. success = http.UnlockComponent(“Anything for 30-day trial”) If (success […]
Using SYSTEMTIME in Java
Chilkat methods that return date/time information do so using SYSTEMTIME. The reason is that Chilkat’s C++ API uses SYSTEMTIME (a MS Windows struct for holding date/time information) and these are wrapped to produce the Java (JNI) API. Here is an example showing how to access the contents of SYSTEMTIME: CkEmail email = new CkEmail(); SYSTEMTIME […]
SFTP WS_FTP OpenFile “Folder not found” Error
If you pass a filename with no path to the SFTP OpenFile method, and the SFTP server is WS_FTP, you may get a “Folder not found” error. An SFTP server *should* open or create the file in the home directory of the logged-in account. This doesn’t seem to be the case with the WS_FTP server. […]
