Syntax

long Sftp_GetMyHostname(void *Sftp, char *Buffer, int *Bufsize);
 long Sftp_SetMyHostname(void *Sftp, char *newVal);

The MyHostname function syntax has these parts:

Part Description
void *Sftp Handle of the created Sftp instance.
char *Buffer Buffer that will hold the returned string. Holds the local computer name.
int *Bufsize Size of the buffer.

Remarks

Here you can find the short name of the local computer, as defined in your network settings. There will be no domain information because your computer can be known differently on the external network, depending on your dial-up settings, local network settings, etc..

Although you can write to this property it will not change your network settings.

The Bufsize variable should contain the maximum data length that can be stored in the Buffer variable. If you set Bufsize = 0, then the function will return with error ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER and Bufsize will contain the required buffer size.
