ForceCompression Property

This property specifies whether server explicitly requires data compression.

Syntax

 sftpserver.getForceCompression([callback])
 sftpserver.setForceCompression( forceCompression, [callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getForceCompression([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setForceCompression([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Set this property before starting the server. If it is set to true, the class will explicitly request data compression. If it is set to False, the class will support compression, although compression will be used only if the remote party doesn't support algorithms without compression.

Data Type

Boolean
