Description

Return type

Syntax

long Sftp_PutDataLenAt(void *Sftp, void *Data, int DataLen, char *RemotePath, __int64 RemotePos);

The PutDataLenAt function syntax has these parts:

Part Description
void *Sftp Handle of the created Sftp instance.
void *Data Represents data that will be stored on the server.
int DataLen Length of the data buffer.
char *RemoteFile Full path to a file on the server.
__int64 RemotePos The position in the file that the data will be copied to.

Remarks

The PutDataLenAt function will copy the contents of the Data buffer to the specified file on the server, at a given position. This is a very handy feature for small files that are stored in local variables within your programs.

What will PutDataLenAt do for you? It will copy the contents of the specified variable to a temporary file on the local disk (in a temporary folder) and then copy that file to the server. Keep in mind that for this method you *MUST* allow the component to write to your disk. If you are using wodSFTP in an environment such as ASP, make sure that the Guest user has sufficient privileges to create temporary files.

Once the file has been created and sent to the server, it will be deleted from the local disk.
