When the wodSFTP client is unable to establish a direct
connection (when not connected directly to the Internet, for
example), the proxy option can be used. There are several
types of proxies supported by the wodSFTP control. When any
proxy is used, this property specifies the hostname for the
remote proxy. Be careful though, this property is not same
as the Hostname
property.
When a connection to a proxy is established, wodSFTP
will issue a request to the proxy to open a remote
connection to the hostname specified by the ProxyHostname
property.
For example,
wodSFTP1.ProxyType = ProxyWEBStandard
wodSFTP1.ProxyHostname = "proxy.server.com"
wodSFTP1.ProxyPort = 80
wodSFTP1.Connect "linux.weonlydo.com"
would connect to WeOnlyDo's test SFTP server, but
through the proxy 'proxy.server.com'.
