# SFTPClient Component The SFTPClient component can be used to transfer files to and from secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) servers. ## Syntax ```text TiphSFTPClient ``` ## Remarks The SFTPClient component is the Secure Shell (SSH)-enabled equivalent of the IPWorks FTP component. The [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPort](#sshport-property-sftpclient-component) properties specify which Secure Shell (SSH) server to use. The [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPassword](#sshpassword-property-sftpclient-component) properties allow the client to authenticate itself with the server. The [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) event or SSHAcceptServerHostKey property allow you to check the server identity. Finally, the [SSHStatus](#sshstatus-event-sftpclient-component) event provides information about the SSH handshake. The SFTPClient component implements a standard SSH file transfer client. The first step in using the component is specifying the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component), [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component), and [SSHPassword](#sshpassword-property-sftpclient-component). The file to upload to or download from is given by the [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) property. The file to download to or upload from is specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component). The current path in the server is specified by the [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component) property. If [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) is set to something other than an empty string, then files are received in [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component); otherwise, the data are received through the [Transfer](#transfer-event-sftpclient-component) event. [StartTransfer](#starttransfer-event-sftpclient-component) and [EndTransfer](#endtransfer-event-sftpclient-component) are fired at the beginning and end of transmission. Directory listings are received through the [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component) event. ## Property List *The following is the full list of the properties of the component with short descriptions.

This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type String # FilePermissions Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Includes a 32-bit integer containing the a POSIX-compatible file permission bitmask. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property int FilePermissions = { read=FFilePermissions, write=FSetFilePermissions }; ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks Includes a 32-bit integer containing the a POSIX-compatible file permission bitmask. The bitmask should be interpreted as a decimal value of a series of octal digits. For example, an octal permission value of "100644" would be "33188" in Base10, and "40755" in octal would be "16877" in Base10. The last three octal digits are the most significant and represent, in order, the file access capabilities of the file's owner, the owner's group, and other users. Each of these octal digits is, on its own, a 3-bit bitmask with the following possible values: | | | | --- | --- | | 1 (001) | Execute | | 2 (010) | Write | | 4 (100) | Read | An octal permission digit of 7 would have all three values set and would mean that the file can be read, written, and executed by that user class. For example, the octal permissions "100644" would have a value "6" for the owner, "4" for the group, and "4" for other users. This would be interpreted to mean that all users can read the file, no users can execute it, and only the owner can write it. The permissions "40755" would mean that all users can read and execute the file, but only the owner can write it. The previous octal digit is another bitmask with the following values: | | | | --- | --- | | 1 (001) | Sticky Bit - retain the file in memory for performance | | 2 (010) | Set GID - sets the group Id of the process to the file's group Id upon execution (only for executable files) | | 4 (100) | Set UID - sets the user Id of the process to the file's user Id upon execution (only for executable files) | The previous two octal digits are used together as a bitmask to determine the type of file. This bitmask has the following values: | | | | --- | --- | | 01 (000001) | Named pipe | | 02 (000010) | Character special | | 04 (000100) | Directory | | 06 (000110) | Block special | | 10 (001000) | Regular | | 12 (001010) | Symbolic link | | 14 (001100) | Socket | For example, the octal file permissions "100644" would indicate a regular file and octal "40755" would indicate a directory. NOTE: You will need to convert the octal permissions bitmask into its decimal representation. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type Integer # FilePermissionsOctal Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Includes an octal string containing the a POSIX-compatible file permission bitmask. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property String FilePermissionsOctal = { read=FFilePermissionsOctal, write=FSetFilePermissionsOctal }; ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks Includes an octal string containing the a POSIX-compatible file permission bitmask. The bitmask should be interpreted as a series of octal digits. For example, "100644" and "40755". The last three octal digits are the most significant and represent, in order, the file access capabilities of the file's owner, the owner's group, and other users.

If a [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sftpclient-component) is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting. If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the component raises an exception. ## Data Type String # FirewallPassword Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property String FirewallPassword = { read=FFirewallPassword, write=FSetFirewallPassword }; ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sftpclient-component) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#firewalluser-property-sftpclient-component) and [FirewallPassword](#firewallpassword-property-sftpclient-component) properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. ## Data Type String # FirewallPort Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host . ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property int FirewallPort = { read=FFirewallPort, write=FSetFirewallPort }; ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sftpclient-component). See the description of the [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sftpclient-component) property for details. NOTE: This property is set automatically when [FirewallType](#firewalltype-property-sftpclient-component) is set to a valid value. See the description of the [FirewallType](#firewalltype-property-sftpclient-component) property for details. ## Data Type Integer # FirewallUser Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property String FirewallUser = { read=FFirewallUser, write=FSetFirewallUser }; ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. If [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sftpclient-component) is specified, this property and the [FirewallPassword](#firewallpassword-property-sftpclient-component) property are used to connect and authenticate to the given [Firewall](#Type_Firewall). If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. ## Data Type String # Idle Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The current status of the component. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property bool Idle = { read=FIdle }; ``` ## Default Value True ## Remarks This property will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times. This property is read-only. ## Data Type Boolean # LocalFile Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The path to a local file for upload or download. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property String LocalFile = { read=FLocalFile, write=FSetLocalFile }; ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks The LocalFile property is used by the [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) and [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component) methods. The file will be overwritten only if the [Overwrite](#overwrite-property-sftpclient-component) property is set to True. **Example. Setting LocalFile:** ```text SFTPControl.Localfile = "C:\localfile.txt" SFTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt" SFTPControl.Download() SFTPControl.Localfile = "C:\localfile2.txt" SFTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt" SFTPControl.Download() ``` ## Data Type String # LocalHost Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost }; ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address. In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used. If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface). NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window. ## Data Type String # LocalPort Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The TCP port in the local host where the component binds. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property int LocalPort = { read=FLocalPort, write=FSetLocalPort }; ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks This property must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine. Setting this property to 0 (default) enables the system to choose an open port at random.

When a call is made to [SSHLogon](#sshlogon-method-sftpclient-component), the component will connect to the SSH server and establish the security layer. After the connection has been secured, the client will send an authentication request to the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) containing the [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component). The server will respond containing a list of methods by which that user may be authenticated. The component will attempt to authenticate the user by one of those methods based on the value of SSHAuthMode and other property values supplied by the user. Currently, the component supports the following authentication methods: | | | | --- | --- | | amNone (0) | No authentication will be performed. The current [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component) value is ignored, and the connection will be logged as anonymous. | | amMultiFactor (1) | This allows the component to attempt a multistep authentication process. The component will send authentication data to the server based on the list of methods allowed for the current user and the authentication property values supplied. The component will continue to send authentication data until the server acknowledges authentication success.

Public Key Authentication:** ```text Control.SSHAuthMode = SftpSSHAuthModes.amPublicKey Control.SSHUser = "username" Control.SSHCertStoreType = SSHCertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile; Control.SSHCertStore = "cert.pfx"; Control.SSHCertStorePassword = "certpassword"; Control.SSHCertSubject = "*"; Control.SSHLogon("server", 22) ``` ## Data Type String # StartByte Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The offset in bytes at which to begin the upload or download. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property __int64 StartByte = { read=FStartByte, write=FSetStartByte }; ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks The StartByte property is used by the [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) and [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component) methods to determine at what offset to begin the transfer. This allows for resuming both uploads and downloads. The value of this property is reset to *0* after a successful transfer. StartByte is not valid for use with [Append](#append-method-sftpclient-component). When downloading, this property can be used in conjunction with the [TransferredDataLimit](#TransferredDataLimit) configuration setting to download only a specific range of data from the current [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). ## Data Type Long64 # Timeout Property ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The timeout for the component. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text __property int Timeout = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout }; ``` ## Default Value 60 ## Remarks If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered. If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The component will use [DoEvents](#doevents-method-sftpclient-component) to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive. If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component raises an exception. NOTE: By default, all timeouts are *inactivity timeouts*, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received. The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds. ## Data Type Integer # Append Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Appends data from LocalFile to a remote file RemoteFile on a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Append(); ``` ## Remarks This method is similar to the [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) method, but the local file specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) is appended to [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) on the server as opposed to replacing it as with the [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) method. [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is either an absolute path on the server or a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). The server will create a file with that name if it does not already exist (similar to upload). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. # ChangeRemotePath Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Changes the current path on the server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall ChangeRemotePath(String RemotePath); ``` ## Remarks This method changes the current path on the server to the specified *RemotePath*. When called, the component will issue a command to the server to change the directory. The *RemotePath* parameter may hold an absolute or relative path. **Absolute Paths** If the path begins with a */*, it is considered an absolute path and must specify the entire path from the root of the server. For example: ```csharp component.ChangeRemotePath("/home/testuser/myfolder"); ``` **Relative Paths** If the path does not begin with a */*, it is considered a relative path and is resolved in relation to the current directory. For instance, a value of *myfolder* will indicate a subfolder of the current directory. The special value *..* refers to the parent directory of the current path. For example: ```csharp //Change to the 'myfolder' sub-directory component.ChangeRemotePath("myfolder"); //Navigate up two levels and then into the 'another/folder' path. component.ChangeRemotePath("../../another/folder"); ``` # CheckFileExists Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Returns True if the file specified by RemoteFile exists on the remote server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text bool __fastcall CheckFileExists(); ``` ## Remarks This property returns *true* if the file exists on the remote server. It returns *false* if the file does not exist. You must specify the file you wish to check by setting the [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) before calling this method. If no session is in place, the value of this property will always be *false*. # Config Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Sets or retrieves a configuration setting. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString); ``` ## Remarks Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-sftpclient-component) for the component. These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method. To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter). To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-sftpclient-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string. # Connect Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Connects to the Secure Shell (SSH) host. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Connect(); ``` ## Remarks By default, this method establishes a connection with the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) and performs a full SSH login (equivalent to calling the [SSHLogon](#sshlogon-method-sftpclient-component) method with the current [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPort](#sshport-property-sftpclient-component)). This behavior is controlled by the [ConnectAndLogin](#ConnectAndLogin) configuration setting, which defaults to *true*. When set to *false*, this method will only establish the TCP connection with the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) without logging in. This may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations; for instance, confirming a host is available by first creating the connection. To complete the SSH login afterward, call [SSHLogon](#sshlogon-method-sftpclient-component) with the same [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPort](#sshport-property-sftpclient-component) that were used to connect. # CopyRemoteData Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Copies a range of bytes from one remote file to another directly on the secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall CopyRemoteData(String DestFile, __int64 Length, __int64 WriteOffset); ``` ## Remarks This method uses the *copy-data* extension to copy data from the remote file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) to the destination file specified by *DestFile*. The server must support the *copy-data* extension. Set [StartByte](#startbyte-property-sftpclient-component) to indicate where in the source file to start reading. The *Length* parameter indicates the number of bytes to read, and the *WriteOffset* parameter indicates where in the destination file to start writing. [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) may be an absolute path on the server or a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). *DestFile* may also be absolute or relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. ```csharp sftp.RemoteFile = "/my/source/file.txt"; sftp.StartByte = 6; sftp.CopyRemoteData("/my/destination/file.txt", 5, 14); ``` # CopyRemoteFile Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Copies a remote file directly on the secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall CopyRemoteFile(String DestFile); ``` ## Remarks This method uses the *copy-file* extension to copy the remote file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) to the destination file specified by *DestFile*. The server must support the *copy-file* extension. [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) may be an absolute path on the server or a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). *DestFile* may also be absolute or relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). [Overwrite](#overwrite-property-sftpclient-component) controls whether an existing destination file will be overwritten. If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. ```csharp sftp.Overwrite = true; sftp.RemoteFile = "/my/source/file.txt"; sftp.CopyRemoteFile("/my/destination/file.txt"); ``` # CreateFile Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Creates a file on the secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall CreateFile(String FileName); ``` ## Remarks This method creates an empty file on the server with the name specified by the *FileName* parameter. To upload a file with content, use [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) instead. # DecodePacket Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Decodes a hex-encoded Secure Shell (SSH) packet. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text DynamicArray __fastcall DecodePacket(String EncodedPacket); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to decode an SSH packet created by [EncodePacket](#encodepacket-method-sftpclient-component). NOTE: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the [SSHCustomAuth](#sshcustomauth-event-sftpclient-component) event. # DelFile Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Deletes a file specified by FileName from a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall DelFile(String FileName); ``` ## Remarks # Disconnect Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Disconnects from the server without first logging off. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Disconnect(); ``` ## Remarks This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off. In most cases, the [SSHLogoff](#sshlogoff-method-sftpclient-component) method should be used to log off and disconnect from the server. Call the Disconnect method in cases in which it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off. # DoEvents Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) This method processes events from the internal message queue. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall DoEvents(); ``` ## Remarks When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns. # Download Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Downloads a RemoteFile from a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Download(); ``` ## Remarks The remote file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is downloaded to the local file specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component), or it is retrieved through the [Transfer](#transfer-event-sftpclient-component) event, if the [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) property is "" (empty string). [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is either an absolute path on the server or is a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. **Example. Download a File:** ```text SFTPControl.Localfile = "C:\localfile.txt" SFTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt" SFTPControl.Download() SFTPControl.Localfile = "C:\localfile2.txt" SFTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt" SFTPControl.Download() ``` # DownloadRange Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Facilitates the partial downloading of a remote file from a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text int __fastcall DownloadRange(String Path, String FileName, __int64 StartByte, int Count, DynamicArray Buffer); ``` ## Remarks This method enables downloading a specific segment of a remote file specified by *Path* and *FileName*. *StartByte* is the offset (in bytes) relative to the beginning of the file from where to start reading, and *Count* is the number of bytes to read into the specified *Buffer*. This functionality is particularly useful for efficient management of large files and targeted data retrieval within them. NOTE: If the requested range extends beyond the end of the file, only the available bytes will be returned. # EncodePacket Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Hex encodes a Secure Shell (SSH) packet. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text String __fastcall EncodePacket(DynamicArray Packet); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to encode a raw SSH packet created by [SetSSHParam](#setsshparam-method-sftpclient-component). NOTE: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the [SSHCustomAuth](#sshcustomauth-event-sftpclient-component) event. # GetSSHParam Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Reads a field from a Secure Shell (SSH) packet's payload. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text String __fastcall GetSSHParam(DynamicArray Payload, String Field); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to read the value of a particular field from an SSH packet's payload. *Payload* should contain the full payload of a packet received by an event such as SSHChannelRequest. *Field* is the name of a field to be read out of the packet. The following is a list of the names of well-known channel request field names and their encodings: | | | | --- | --- | | ChannelId (int32) | The Id of the channel that received the packet. | | RequestType (string) | The type of channel requested. | | WantsReply (boolean) | Whether or not the client wants a reply to the request. | The remaining fields that are available in the payload are dependent on the value of *RequestType*. **pty-req** Pty-req is a request to open a pseudo terminal on the specified channel. The following fields are available: | | | | --- | --- | | TerminalType (string) | The type of terminal being requested (e.g., "vt100"). | | TerminalWidthCharacters (int32) | The width, in characters, of the terminal to be opened. | | TerminalHeightRows (int32) | The height, in rows, of the terminal to be opened. | | TerminalWidthPixels (int32) | The width, in pixels, of the terminal to be opened. | | TerminalHeightPixels (int32) | The height, in pixels, of the terminal to be opened. | | TerminalModes (string) | A list of op-val (int32-byte) encoded modes to be used by the terminal. | **x11-req** X11-req is a request to forward x11 sessions over a channel. The following fields are available: | | | | --- | --- | | SingleConnection (boolean) | Disallows more than one connection to be forwarded by the channel. | | X11AuthProtocol (string) | The authentication protocol to be used (e.g., "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1"). | | X11AuthCookie (string) | A hexadecimal-encoded cookie to be used for authentication. | | X11ScreenNumber (int32) | The x11 screen number to be used. | **env** Env is a request to set an environment variable to be passed into a shell that may be started later. The following fields are available: | | | | --- | --- | | VariableName (string) | The name of the variable to be set. | | VariableValue (string) | The value of the variable to be set. | **exec** Exec is a request to execute a command on the channel using the authenticated user's shell. The following field is available: | | | | --- | --- | | Command (string) | The command to be executed. | **subsystem** Subsystem is a request to start a subsystem on the specified channel. The following field is available: | | | | --- | --- | | Subsystem (string) | The name of the subsystem to be started (e.g., "sftp"). | **xon-xoff** Xon-xoff instructs the server to allow or disallow control-S/control-Q style flow control. The following field is available: | | | | --- | --- | | ClientCanDo (boolean) | Whether or not the server should enable flow control. | **signal** Sends a signal to the remote process/service. The following field is available: | | | | --- | --- | | SignalName (string) | The name of the signal to be sent. | If the packet type is not well known, *Field* should start with the special character "%" and contain a comma-separated list of field types as defined in [SetSSHParam](#setsshparam-method-sftpclient-component). For example, reading out the X11AuthProtocol of an x11-req payload, you can use "%s,f". NOTE: The return value is a string encoded the same way as the *FieldValue* param in [SetSSHParam](#setsshparam-method-sftpclient-component). NOTE: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the [SSHCustomAuth](#sshcustomauth-event-sftpclient-component) event. # GetSSHParamBytes Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Reads a field from a Secure Shell (SSH) packet's payload. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text DynamicArray __fastcall GetSSHParamBytes(DynamicArray Payload, String Field); ``` ## Remarks This method is the same as calling [GetSSHParam](#getsshparam-method-sftpclient-component), but it returns raw bytes instead of strings. NOTE: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the [SSHCustomAuth](#sshcustomauth-event-sftpclient-component) event. # Interrupt Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) This method interrupts the current method. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Interrupt(); ``` ## Remarks If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing. # ListDirectory Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Lists the current directory specified by RemotePath on a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall ListDirectory(); ``` ## Remarks A listing is requested for the directory (or file mask) specified in [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is either an absolute path on the server or is a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). The file listing is received through the [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component) event. If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. # MakeDirectory Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Creates a directory on a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall MakeDirectory(String NewDir); ``` ## Remarks A directory with a path specified by *NewDir* is created on the SFTP server. *NewDir* is either an absolute path on the server or is a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. # QueryFileAttributes Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Queries the server for the attributes of RemoteFile . ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall QueryFileAttributes(); ``` ## Remarks This method queries the server for attributes of [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). After calling this method, FileAttributes will be populated with the values returned by the server. To update attributes, modify the desired values in FileAttributes and call [UpdateFileAttributes](#updatefileattributes-method-sftpclient-component). # QueueFile Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Adds a file to the transfer queue. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall QueueFile(String LocalFile, String RemoteFile); ``` ## Remarks This method adds a file to the queue of files that will be transferred. It is not required to use this method; however, this method extends the ability of the component to allow for multiple simultaneous file transfers. To simply transfer a file without using this method, you need only to set [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) and [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) and to call [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) or [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component), as appropriate. This method allows you to instead queue multiple files before beginning a transfer. When a file is queued, it will not be transferred until the [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) or [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component) method is called. If multiple files are queued, the files will be transferred simultaneously. The [SimultaneousTransferLimit](#SimultaneousTransferLimit) setting controls the maximum number of simultaneous transfers. The [Upload](#upload-method-sftpclient-component) or [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component) method will not return until the queue has been completely processed. This method may be called from within events to add additional files to the queue before processing is complete. To clear the queue, call [ResetQueue](#resetqueue-method-sftpclient-component). This will not affect current transfers. To cancel an individual file transfer, set the *Cancel* parameter of the [Transfer](#transfer-event-sftpclient-component) event to True. The rest of the queue will continue to process as normal. The [Interrupt](#interrupt-method-sftpclient-component) method may be called to immediately stop all current transfers. In the event of a file-specific error, the [Error](#error-event-sftpclient-component) event will fire and the *LocalFile* and *RemoteFile* event parameters can be used to identify the file to which the error applies. # RenameFile Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Changes the name of RemoteFile to NewName . ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall RenameFile(String NewName); ``` ## Remarks The name of the remote file or the folder specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is changed to *NewName*. [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) and *NewName* are either absolute paths on the server or a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. # Reset Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) This method will reset the component. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Reset(); ``` ## Remarks This method will reset the component's properties to their default values. # ResetQueue Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Resets the queue of files to be transferred. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall ResetQueue(); ``` ## Remarks This method will remove all files from the transfer queue. Calling this method will clear all files that were queued by [QueueFile](#queuefile-method-sftpclient-component). Calling this method will not affect current transfers. # RmDir Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Removes a directory specified by DirName from a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall RmDir(String DirName); ``` ## Remarks # SetSSHParam Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Writes a field to the end of a payload. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text DynamicArray __fastcall SetSSHParam(DynamicArray Payload, String FieldType, String FieldValue); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to build the payload portion of a Secure Shell (SSH) packet to be sent later by a call to SendSSHPacket. *Payload* should contain the result of a previous call to SetSSHParam. *FieldType* is a string defining the type of field to be written to the packet. *FieldValue* should be the string representation of the field to be written. The following is a list of supported field types and a description of how *FieldValue* should be encoded: | | | | --- | --- | | s | A plaintext string containing the default system encoding of the data. | | sb | A string containing the hex-encoded data (e.g., "A1B23C") | | m | A variable-length large integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). | | i | A 32-bit integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). | | l | A 64-bit integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). | | b | A single byte, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "123"). | | f | A boolean flag, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., 'True' or 'False') | NOTE: Integer values may be hexadecimal encoded by prefixing "0x" to the beginning of the string; otherwise, the value is assumed to be Base10. NOTE: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the [SSHCustomAuth](#sshcustomauth-event-sftpclient-component) event. # SSHLogoff Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Logs off from the Secure Shell (SSH) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall SSHLogoff(); ``` ## Remarks Logs off from the SSH server. If that fails, the connection is terminated by the local host. # SSHLogon Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Logs on to the SSHHost using the current SSHUser and SSHPassword . ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall SSHLogon(String SSHHost, int SSHPort); ``` ## Remarks Logs on to the Secure Shell (SSH) server using the current [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPassword](#sshpassword-property-sftpclient-component). This will perform the SSH handshake and authentication. **Example. Logging On:** ```text SSHClient.SSHUser = "username" SSHClient.SSHPassword = "password" SSHClient.SSHLogon("sshHost", sshPort) ``` # UpdateFileAttributes Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Instructs the component to send the FileAttributes to the server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall UpdateFileAttributes(); ``` ## Remarks When UpdateFileAttributes is called, the component will send the values of the following properties to the server: - [FileAccessTime](#fileaccesstime-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileACL](#fileacl-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileAllocationSize](#fileallocationsize-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileAttributeBits](#fileattributebits-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileAttributeBitsValid](#fileattributebitsvalid-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileCreationTime](#filecreationtime-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileType](#filetype-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileGroupId](#filegroupid-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileIsDir](#fileisdir-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileModifiedTime](#filemodifiedtime-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileOwnerId](#fileownerid-property-sftpclient-component) - [FilePermissions](#filepermissions-property-sftpclient-component) - [FileSize](#filesize-property-sftpclient-component) # Upload Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Uploads a file specified by LocalFile to a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall Upload(); ``` ## Remarks The local file specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) is uploaded to the remote file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is either an absolute path on the server or a path relative to [RemotePath](#remotepath-property-sftpclient-component). If a Secure Shell (SSH) session is not in place, one is automatically created by the component first. If you want to append to a server file, please refer to the [Append](#append-method-sftpclient-component) method. **Example. Upload a File:** ```text FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\\localfile.txt" FTPControl.RemoteFile = "remotefile.txt" FTPControl.Upload() FTPControl.LocalFile = "C:\\localfile2.txt" FTPControl.RemoteFile = "folder/remotefile2.txt" FTPControl.Upload() ``` # UploadRange Method ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Inserts data into a remote file on a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text void __fastcall UploadRange(String Path, String FileName, __int64 StartByte, int Count, DynamicArray Buffer); ``` ## Remarks This method enables uploading a buffer into the remote file specified by the *Path* and *FileName*. *Count* bytes will be updated from the provided *Buffer* starting in the remote file at the *StartByte* offset. This functionality enables precise control over the insertion of data into a remote file, allowing for targeted modifications, overwriting, or additions starting from a specific position within the file. NOTE: If the offset specified is beyond the file length, empty bytes will be created between the last file byte and the uploaded buffer. # Connected Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails). ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int StatusCode; String Description; } TiphSFTPClientConnectedEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientConnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientConnectedEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientConnectedEvent OnConnected = { read=FOnConnected, write=FOnConnected }; ``` ## Remarks If the connection is made normally, *StatusCode* is 0 and *Description* is "OK". If the connection fails, *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the error. Please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sftpclient-component) section for more information. # ConnectionStatus Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired to indicate changes in the connection state. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String ConnectionEvent; int StatusCode; String Description; } TiphSFTPClientConnectionStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientConnectionStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientConnectionStatusEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientConnectionStatusEvent OnConnectionStatus = { read=FOnConnectionStatus, write=FOnConnectionStatus }; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake. The *ConnectionEvent* parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following: | | | | --- | --- | | | Firewall connection complete. | | | Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | | | Remote host connection complete. | | | Remote host disconnected. | | | SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | | | Firewall host disconnected. | *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the error. # DirList Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when a directory entry is received. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String DirEntry; String FileName; bool IsDir; __int64 FileSize; String FileTime; bool IsSymlink; } TiphSFTPClientDirListEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientDirListEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientDirListEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientDirListEvent OnDirList = { read=FOnDirList, write=FOnDirList }; ``` ## Remarks The DirList events are fired when a directory listing is received as a response to a [ListDirectory](#listdirectory-method-sftpclient-component). The [StartTransfer](#starttransfer-event-sftpclient-component) and [EndTransfer](#endtransfer-event-sftpclient-component) events mark the beginning and end of the event stream. The *DirEntry* parameter contains the filename when [ListDirectory](#listdirectory-method-sftpclient-component) is called. The component tries to fill out the *FileName*, *IsDir*, *FileSize*, and *FileTime* parameters when calling the [ListDirectory](#listdirectory-method-sftpclient-component) method. The format of the *FileTime* parameter returned by the component can be controlled through the [FileTimeFormat](#FileTimeFormat) configuration setting. If no format is specified, the component will format the date dependent on the year. If the filetime is in the same year, it will be formatted as "MMM dd HH:mm"; otherwise, it will be formatted as "MMM dd yyyy". *IsSymlink* indicates whether the entry is a symbolic link. When the entry is a symbolic link, the value of *IsDir* will always be *False* because this information is not returned in the directory listing. To inspect a symlink to determine if it is a link to a file or a folder, set [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) and query the [FileIsDir](#fileisdir-property-sftpclient-component) property. # Disconnected Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when a connection is closed. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int StatusCode; String Description; } TiphSFTPClientDisconnectedEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientDisconnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientDisconnectedEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientDisconnectedEvent OnDisconnected = { read=FOnDisconnected, write=FOnDisconnected }; ``` ## Remarks If the connection is broken normally, *StatusCode* is 0 and *Description* is "OK". If the connection is broken for any other reason, *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error. Please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sftpclient-component) section for more information. # EndTransfer Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when a file completes downloading or uploading. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int Direction; String LocalFile; String RemoteFile; } TiphSFTPClientEndTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientEndTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientEndTransferEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientEndTransferEvent OnEndTransfer = { read=FOnEndTransfer, write=FOnEndTransfer }; ``` ## Remarks The EndTransfer event fires when either an upload or a download operation completes. This occurs when the file finishes transferring or a directory listing is finished. The *Direction* parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data. *LocalFile* identifies the local file. *RemoteFile* is the remote file. # Error Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when errors occur during data delivery. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int ErrorCode; String Description; String LocalFile; String RemoteFile; } TiphSFTPClientErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientErrorEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError }; ``` ## Remarks The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception. *ErrorCode* contains an error code and *Description* contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sftpclient-component) section. *LocalFile* identifies the local file. *RemoteFile* is the remote file. # Log Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired once for each log message. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int LogLevel; String Message; String LogType; } TiphSFTPClientLogEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientLogEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientLogEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientLogEvent OnLog = { read=FOnLog, write=FOnLog }; ``` ## Remarks Fired once for each log message generated by the component. The verbosity is controlled by the [LogLevel](#LogLevel) setting. *LogLevel* indicates the detail level of the message. Possible values are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (None) | No messages are logged. | | 1 (Info - Default) | Informational events such as Secure Shell (SSH) handshake messages are logged. | | 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data such as individual packet information are logged. | | 3 (Debug) | Debug data including all relevant sent and received bytes are logged. | *Message* is the log message. *LogType* is reserved for future use. # SSHCustomAuth Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when the component is doing a custom authentication. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String Packet; } TiphSFTPClientSSHCustomAuthEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientSSHCustomAuthEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientSSHCustomAuthEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientSSHCustomAuthEvent OnSSHCustomAuth = { read=FOnSSHCustomAuth, write=FOnSSHCustomAuth }; ``` ## Remarks SSHCustomAuth is fired during the user authentication stage of the Secure Shell (SSH) logon process if [SSHAuthMode](#sshauthmode-property-sftpclient-component) is set to amCustom. *Packet* contains the last raw SSH packet sent by the server, in HEX-encoded format. The client should create a new raw SSH packet to send to the server and set *Packet* to the HEX-encoded representation of the packet to send. In all cases, *Packet* will start with the message type field. To read the incoming packet, call [DecodePacket](#decodepacket-method-sftpclient-component) and then use the [GetSSHParam](#getsshparam-method-sftpclient-component) and [GetSSHParamBytes](#getsshparambytes-method-sftpclient-component) methods. To create a packet, use the [SetSSHParam](#setsshparam-method-sftpclient-component) method and then call [EncodePacket](#encodepacket-method-sftpclient-component) to obtain a HEX-encoded value and assign this to the *Packet* parameter. # SSHKeyboardInteractive Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when the component receives a request for user input from the server. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String Name; String Instructions; String Prompt; String Response; bool EchoResponse; } TiphSFTPClientSSHKeyboardInteractiveEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientSSHKeyboardInteractiveEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientSSHKeyboardInteractiveEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientSSHKeyboardInteractiveEvent OnSSHKeyboardInteractive = { read=FOnSSHKeyboardInteractive, write=FOnSSHKeyboardInteractive }; ``` ## Remarks SSHKeyboardInteractive is fired during the user authentication stage of the Secure Shell (SSH) logon process. During authentication, the component will request a list of available authentication methods for the [SSHUser](#sshuser-property-sftpclient-component). For example, if the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) responds with "keyboard-interactive", the component will fire this event to allow the client application to set the password. During authentication, the SSH server may respond with a request for the user's authentication information. *Name* is a server-provided value associated with the authentication method such as "CRYPTOCard Authentication". *Instructions* will contain specific instructions, also supplied by the server, for how the user should respond. Along with these values, the server will also send at least one input *Prompt* to be displayed to and filled out by the user. *Response* should be set to the user's input, and will be sent back in the user authentication information response. *EchoResponse* is a server recommendation for whether or not the user's response should be echoed back during input. NOTE: The server may send several prompts in a single packet. The component will fire the SSHKeyboardInteractive event once for each prompt. # SSHServerAuthentication Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired after the server presents its public key to the client. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String HostKey; DynamicArray HostKeyB; String Fingerprint; String KeyAlgorithm; String CertSubject; String CertIssuer; String Status; bool Accept; } TiphSFTPClientSSHServerAuthenticationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientSSHServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientSSHServerAuthenticationEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientSSHServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSHServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSHServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSHServerAuthentication }; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired when the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. If the public key is known to be a valid key for the Secure Shell (SSH) server, *Accept* should be set to True within the event. Otherwise, the server will not be authenticated and the connection will be broken. *Accept* will be True only if either *HostKey* or *Fingerprint* is identical to the value of SSHAcceptServerHostKey. Accept may be set to True manually to accept the server host key. NOTE: SSH's security inherently relies on client verification of the host key. Ignoring the host key and always setting *Accept* to True is strongly discouraged, and could cause potentially serious security vulnerabilities in your application. It is recommended that clients maintain a list of known keys for each server and check *HostKey* against this list each time a connection is attempted. **Host Key** contains the full binary text of the key, in the same format used internally by SSH. *Fingerprint* holds the SHA-256 hash of *HostKey* in the hex-encoded form: *0a:1b:2c:3d*. To configure the hash algorithm used to calculate this value, see [SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm](#SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm). To configure the encoding format used when displaying this value, see [SSHFingerprintEncoding](#SSHFingerprintEncoding). *KeyAlgorithm* identifies the host key algorithm. The following values are supported: - ssh-rsa - ssh-dss - rsa-sha2-256 - rsa-sha2-512 - x509v3-sign-rsa - x509v3-sign-dss - ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 - ecdsa-sha2-nistp384 - ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 To limit the accepted host key algorithms, refer to [SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms](#SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms). *CertSubject* is the subject of the certificate. This is applicable only when *KeyAlgorithm* is "x509v3-sign-rsa" or "x509v3-sign-dss". *CertIssuer* is the issuer of the certificate. This is applicable only when *KeyAlgorithm* is "x509v3-sign-rsa" or "x509v3-sign-dss". *Status* is reserved for future use. # SSHStatus Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired to track the progress of the secure connection. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { String Message; } TiphSFTPClientSSHStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientSSHStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientSSHStatusEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientSSHStatusEvent OnSSHStatus = { read=FOnSSHStatus, write=FOnSSHStatus }; ``` ## Remarks The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection. # StartTransfer Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired when a file starts downloading or uploading. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int Direction; String LocalFile; String RemoteFile; } TiphSFTPClientStartTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientStartTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientStartTransferEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientStartTransferEvent OnStartTransfer = { read=FOnStartTransfer, write=FOnStartTransfer }; ``` ## Remarks The StartTransfer event fires when a data interface connection is created. This occurs when the file starts transferring or a directory listing is started. The *Direction* parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data. *LocalFile* identifies the local file. *RemoteFile* is the remote file. # Transfer Event ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) Fired during file download or upload. ## Syntax *C++ Builder Syntax* ```text typedef struct { int Direction; String LocalFile; String RemoteFile; __int64 BytesTransferred; int PercentDone; String Text; DynamicArray TextB; bool Cancel; } TiphSFTPClientTransferEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiphSFTPClientTransferEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiphSFTPClientTransferEventParams *e); __property TiphSFTPClientTransferEvent OnTransfer = { read=FOnTransfer, write=FOnTransfer }; ``` ## Remarks One or more Transfer events are fired during file transfer. The *BytesTransferred* parameter shows the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the transfer. *Text* contains the portion of the file data being delivered. The *Direction* parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data. *LocalFile* identifies the local file. *RemoteFile* is the remote file. The *PercentDone* parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If *PercentDone* can not be calculated the value will be -1. To cancel the current transfer, set *Cancel* to True. # Config Settings ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) The component accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-sftpclient-component) method. ### SFTPClient Config Settings **AllowBackslashInName**: Whether backslashes are allowed in folder and file names.By default the backslash character is treated as a path separator and is not allowed in file and folder names. When this configuration setting is set to True, backslashes "\" are allowed in file and folder names and are not supported as path separators. The default value is False. **AsyncTransfer**: Controls whether simultaneous requests are made to read or write files.When set to True, the component will make several requests to read or write data before waiting for a response from the server. The maximum number of these requests that can be made is controlled by [MaxOutstandingPackets](#MaxOutstandingPackets). The default is True. **AttrAccessTime**: Can be queried for the AccessTime file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the AccessTime file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrCreationTime**: Can be queried for the CreationTime file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the CreationTime file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrFileType**: Can be queried for the FileType file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the FileType file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrGroupId**: Can be queried for the GroupId file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the GroupId file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrLinkCount**: Can be queried for the LinkCount file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the LinkCount file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrOwnerId**: Can be queried for the OwnerId file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the OwnerId file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **AttrPermission**: Can be queried for the Permissions file attribute during the DirList event.During [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component), this configuration setting can be queried to retrieve the value of the Permissions file attribute if it is present in the response from the server. **CheckFileHash**: Compares a server-computed hash with a hash calculated locally.This setting may be queried to compare a hash of the file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) with the hash calculated by the server. When queried, the component will ask the server to calculate a hash of the file. It will then compute a hash locally and compare the values to confirm that the content that exists in the file specified by [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) is the same as the file specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component). The server must support the *check-file* extension. The component supports the following hash algorithms (in order of preference): *sha256,sha224,sha384,sha512,sha1,md5*. The server may choose to use any value from this list. No action is needed to configure the algorithm, the component will automatically use the same algorithm that the server users. If the extension is unsupported or a mismatch in hashes is detected, the component raises an exception. If the hashes match the value, *True* is returned. ```csharp try { String flag = sftp.Config("CheckFileHash"); // flag will be equal to "True" } catch (Exception e) { // mismatch } ``` **DisableRealPath**: Controls whether or not the SSH_FXP_REALPATH request is sent.This configuration setting can be used to skip sending the SSH_FXP_REALPATH request, which asks the server to canonicalize the value in RemotePath to an absolute path. The default value is False, which will cause the component to send the request normally. If set to True, the component will not send the SSH_FXP_REALPATH packet and will use the value in RemotePath directly. **ExcludeFileMask**: Specifies a file mask for excluding files in directory listings.This configuration setting specifies one or more file masks to be excluded during a directory listing. When using multiple masks, any files that match one or more of the masks will not be listed. For example, setting ExcludeFileMask to "*.txt", RemoteFile to "", and calling [ListDirectory](#listdirectory-method-sftpclient-component) will list all files except those ending in .txt. **ExecFallbackCommand**: Specifies the fallback command to execute if the component fails to start the SFTP subsystem.This configuration setting specifies the fallback command to execute if the component fails to start the SFTP subsystem. By default, this config is set to the following commands: *test -x /usr/lib/sftp-server && exec /usr/lib/sftp-server\ntest -x /usr/local/lib/sftp-server && exec /usr/local/lib/sftp-server\nexec sftp-server* When initiating a connection to an SFTP server, the component will always attempt to start the SFTP subsystem for the given connection. However, in the event the SFTP subsystem cannot be started successfully for any reason, this command (or set of commands) will be executed on the server in an attempt to start the SFTP server. If necessary, this config may be set to another command or an empty string. An empty string indicates there should be no fallback command executed, and the component will throw an exception assuming the SFTP subsystem cannot be started. **FileMaskDelimiter**: Specifies a delimiter to use for setting multiple file masks in the RemoteFile property.If specified, the RemoteFile property will be split into separate masks based on the chosen delimiter. The default is "", which will cause the RemoteFile property to be treated as a single value. When using multiple masks, any files that match one or more of the masks will be listed. For example, setting FileMaskDelimiter to "," and setting RemoteFile to "*.txt, *.csv" will list all files ending in .txt or .csv. **FiletimeFormat**: Specifies the format to use when returning filetime strings.If specified, the component will use this value to format the filetime string returned through the [DirList](#dirlist-event-sftpclient-component) event. By default, the component will format the date as "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss". **ForceMakeDirectory**: Controls whether calls to make a directory always attempt to create the directory on the server.By default (false), when [MakeDirectory](#makedirectory-method-sftpclient-component) is called, the component will first check if a file or directory already exists at the specified path. If an entry exists, the operation will succeed without sending a directory creation request to the server. When this configuration setting is set to True, the component will always send the directory creation request to the server regardless of whether the path already exists. This allows the server to determine the outcome of the operation. This is useful in cases where a file may exist at the specified path. In such cases, many servers will return an error when attempting to create a directory with the same name, allowing the application to detect the conflict. **FreeSpace**: The free space on the remote server in bytes.This property is populated after calling the [GetSpaceInfo](#GetSpaceInfo) configuration setting. This holds the total free space available on the drive on the remote server in bytes. **GetSpaceInfo**: Queries the server for drive usage information.This configuration setting queries the server for the total space and free space available on the remote drive. When querying this setting, the component will immediately request the information from the server. After calling this setting the [TotalSpace](#TotalSpace) and [FreeSpace](#FreeSpace) configuration settings will be populated. NOTE: The server must understand either the "statvfs@openssh.com" or "space-available" extension for this operation to succeed. **GetSymlinkAttrs**: Whether to get the attributes of the symbolic link, or the resource pointed to by the link.When FileAttributes is queried, the component will retrieve information about the [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). This configuration setting controls the behavior when [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) refers to a symbolic link on the server. By default the information returned by FileAttributes is that of the actual file pointed to by the symbolic link, not the symbolic link itself. If it is desired to retrieve the attributes of the symbolic link itself, set [GetSymlinkAttrs](#GetSymlinkAttrs) to *True* before querying FileAttributes. **IgnoreFileMaskCasing**: Controls whether or not the file mask is case sensitive.This configuration setting applies to the file mask value specified by the [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) property. The default value is True. If set to False, the file mask will be case sensitive. **LocalEOL**: When TransferMode is set, this specifies the line ending for the local system.This configuration setting is applicable only when [TransferMode](#TransferMode) is set to 1 (ASCII). The default value is a CrLf character sequence. When uploading or downloading, this value will be compared to [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL). If [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are different, the line endings in the file being transferred will be converted to the line endings used by the destination. Line endings will be converted to the value in [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) when downloading. Line endings will be converted to the value in [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) when uploading. If [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are the same, no conversion takes place. The value supplied to this setting must be quoted. For example: ```text component.Config("LocalEOL=\"" + myEOLSequence + "\""); ``` Where myEOLSequence is a Cr, Lf, or CrLf character sequence. Conversion will only happen when [TransferMode](#TransferMode) is set to 1 (ASCII) and [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are different. **LogSFTPFileData**: Whether SFTP file data is present in Debug logs.This configuration setting controls whether file data is logged when [LogLevel](#LogLevel) is set to *3* (Debug). When False (default), the file data being transferred is not included. Set this value to True to include all traffic include file data. NOTE: Setting this value to True will increase the amount of data that are logged. **MaskSensitiveData**: Masks passwords in logs.The default value is True. When set to True, the component will mask passwords that otherwise would appear in its logs. **MaxFileData**: Specifies the maximum payload size of an SFTP packet.Although the Secure Shell (SSH) specification requires servers and clients to support SSH packets of at least 32,000 bytes, some server implementations limit the packet size to smaller values. MaxFileData provides a means by which the user can specify the maximum amount of data that can be put into a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) packet so that the component can communicate effectively with these servers. If you are having difficulty when uploading to a server, try setting MaxFileData size to a value smaller than 32,000. Most servers that use smaller values will use a maximum SSH packet size of 16KB (16384). To most efficiently communicate with such servers, MaxFileData size should be set to 14745. NOTE: Values larger than 64,000 (65,536) may not be respected by some servers (such as OpenSSH) and will result in unexpected behavior. If specifying a value, it is *recommended* to set a value less than or equal to 65,536. The default value is 32,768. **MaxOutstandingPackets**: Sets the maximum number of simultaneous read or write requests allowed.This configuration setting sets the number of simultaneous read or write requests allowed. This configuration setting applies only when [AsyncTransfer](#AsyncTransfer) is True. The default is *32*. **NegotiatedProtocolVersion**: The negotiated SFTP version.This configuration setting returns the negotiated version of SFTP. Query this to ensure that the correct version was negotiated. This configuration setting is read only. **NormalizeRemotePath**: Whether to normalize the RemotePath.When set to True, the component will normalize the value in RemotePath by appending a forward slash (/) if one is not already present. "." and ".." are special cases and will not be affected. The default is True. **PreserveFileTime**: Preserves the file's timestamps during transfer.If set to True, the component will preserve the file's timestamps during transfer. This is applicable to both uploads and downloads. The default value is False. **ProtocolVersion**: The highest allowable SFTP version to use.This configuration setting governs the highest allowable SFTP version to use when negotiating the version with the server. The default value is 3 because this is the most common version. The component supports values from 3 to 6. It is recommended to use the default value of 3 unless there is a specific reason a higher version is needed. **ReadLink**: This settings returns the target of a specified symbolic link.This configuration setting returns the target of the specified symbolic link. To use the setting, pass the remote path and file name of the symbolic link. For example: ```csharp string resolvedPath = component.Config("ReadLink=/home/test/mysymlink.txt"); ``` **RealTimeUpload**: Enables real time uploading.When this value is set to True, the component will upload the data in the file specified by [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) and continue monitoring [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) for additional data to upload until no new data are found for [RealTimeUploadAgeLimit](#RealTimeUploadAgeLimit) seconds. This allows you to start uploading a file immediately after the file is created and continue uploading as data is written to the file. The default value is False. **RealTimeUploadAgeLimit**: The age limit in seconds when using RealTimeUpload.This value is applicable only when [RealTimeUpload](#RealTimeUpload) is set to True. This specifies the number of seconds for which the component will monitor [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component) for new data to upload. If this limit is reached and no new data are found in [LocalFile](#localfile-property-sftpclient-component), the upload will complete. The default value is 1. **ServerEOL**: When TransferMode is set, this specifies the line ending for the remote system.This configuration setting is applicable only when [TransferMode](#TransferMode) is set to 1 (ASCII). The default value is a CrLf character sequence. When uploading or downloading, this value will be compared to [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL). If [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are different, the line endings in the file being transferred will be converted to the line endings used by the destination. Line endings will be converted to the value in [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) when downloading. Line endings will be converted to the value in [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) when uploading. If [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are the same, no conversion takes place. The value supplied to this setting must be quoted. For example: ```text component.Config("ServerEOL=\"" + myEOLSequence + "\""); ``` Where myEOLSequence is a Cr, Lf, or CrLf character sequence. Conversion will happen only when [TransferMode](#TransferMode) is set to 1 (ASCII) and [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) and [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) are different. **SimultaneousTransferLimit**: The maximum number of simultaneous file transfers.This configuration setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous file transfers. This is used when processing files added to the transfer queue by [QueueFile](#queuefile-method-sftpclient-component). The default value is 5. **TotalSpace**: The total space on the remote server in bytes.This property is populated after calling the [GetSpaceInfo](#GetSpaceInfo) configuration setting. This holds the total space on the drive on the remote server in bytes. **TransferMode**: The transfer mode (ASCII or Binary).The value 0 represents binary and the value 1 represents ASCII. If the value is 0 (default), the initial server mode will be used. When this value is set to 1 (ASCII) the component will use the values specified in [LocalEOL](#LocalEOL) and [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) to convert line endings as appropriate. NOTE: When this value is set to 1 (ASCII) and [ProtocolVersion](#ProtocolVersion) is set to 4 or higher the component will automatically determine the value for [ServerEOL](#ServerEOL) if the server supports the *newline* protocol extension. **TransferredDataLimit**: Specifies the maximum number of bytes to download from the remote file.This configuration setting specifies the maximum number of bytes that should be downloaded from the current [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component) when [Download](#download-method-sftpclient-component) is called. The component will stop downloading data if it reaches the specified limit, or if there are no more data to download. This configuration setting can be used in conjunction with the [StartByte](#startbyte-property-sftpclient-component) property to download a specific range of data from the current [RemoteFile](#remotefile-property-sftpclient-component). **UseFxpStat**: Whether SSH_FXP_STAT is sent.For certain operations the component will send SSH_FXP_STAT to get a file's attributes. Some servers do not support this packet and will return an error. Set this to *false* to not send the packet. This will cause [PreserveFileTime](#PreserveFileTime) to not work and prevent *PercentDone* in [Transfer](#transfer-event-sftpclient-component) from being calculated. The default is *true*. **UseServerFileTime**: Controls if the file time returned from the server is converted to local time or not.If this configuration setting is set to False, the component will return the filetime as the system's local time; otherwise, it will return with the time as it is reported by the server. Controls if the file time returned from the server is converted to local time or not.If this configuration setting is set to False, the component will return the filetime as the system's local time; otherwise, it will return with the time as it is reported by the server. The default is *false*. **UseServerFileTime**: Controls if the file time returned from the server is converted to local time or not.If this configuration setting is set to False, the component will return the filetime as the system's local time; otherwise, it will return with the time as it is reported by the server. Controls if the file time returned from the server is converted to local time or not.If this configuration setting is set to False, the component will return the filetime as the system's local time; otherwise, it will return with the time as it is reported by the server. The default is *false*. ### SSHClient Config Settings **ChannelDataEOL[ChannelId]**: Used to break the incoming data stream into chunks.By *default* [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is *0* and [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is an empty string. SSHChannelData fires whenever an SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA packet is received. If [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is greater than *0* and [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is a nonempty string, the component will internally buffer data waiting to fire SSHChannelData until either [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is reached or [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is found, whichever comes first. Query [ChannelDataEOLFound](#ChannelDataEOLFound) to know which condition was met. The buffer is reset any time SSHChannelData fires. [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) and [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) *must* be set together or unexpected behavior could occur. **ChannelDataEOLFound[ChannelId]**: Determines if ChannelDataEOL was found.If *true*,then [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) was found. If *false*, then [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) was reached. This configuration setting is valid only when queried inside SSHChannelData, [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) > 0, and [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is nonempty. **ClientSSHVersionString**: The SSH version string used by the component.This configuration setting specifies the Secure Shell (SSH) version string used by the component. The default value is "SSH-2.0-IPWorks SSH Client 2024". Most SSH servers expect the SSH version string to have the expected format "SSH-protocol version-software version". See above for an example. **ConnectAndLogin**: Whether the component performs a full SSH login.The default value is *true*. When enabled, calling the [Connect](#connect-method-sftpclient-component) method establishes the TCP connection and performs a full SSH login. When set to *false*, calling [Connect](#connect-method-sftpclient-component) will only establish the underlying TCP connection; the SSH login will not be performed. This may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations; for instance, confirming a host is available before authenticating with it. When [ConnectAndLogin](#ConnectAndLogin) is *false*, call [SSHLogon](#sshlogon-method-sftpclient-component) with the same [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) and [SSHPort](#sshport-property-sftpclient-component) used to connect in order to complete the SSH login over the existing connection. Note that [SSHLogon](#sshlogon-method-sftpclient-component) always performs a full SSH login regardless of the value of this configuration setting. **DoNotRepeatAuthMethods**: Whether the component will repeat authentication methods during multifactor authentication.The default value is *true*. When set to *false*, the component will repeat authentication methods that have already been completed during multifactor authentication. **EnablePageantAuth**: Whether to use a key stored in Pageant to perform client authentication.This configuration setting controls whether Pageant authentication is disabled, enabled, or required. When enabled or required, the component attempts to communicate with PuTTY's ssh-agent, called "Pageant", over shared memory to perform public key authentication. Possible values and the corresponding behavior is described as follows: | Value | Description | | --- | --- | | 0 (Disabled - default) | No communication with Pageant is attempted. | | 1 (Enabled) | Pageant authentication is used if available. If Pageant is not running, or does not contain the expected key, no error is thrown. | | 2 (Required) | Only Pageant authentication is used. If Pageant is not running, or does not contain the expected key, an error is thrown. | **Example 1. Enabling Pageant:** ```text component.Config("EnablePageantAuth=1"); component.SSHUser = "sshuser"; component.SSHLogon("localhost", 22); ``` NOTE: This functionality is available only on Windows. **KerberosDelegation**: If true, asks for credentials with delegation enabled during authentication.The default value is "True". If set to "False", the client will not ask for credentials delegation support during authentication. NOTE: Even if the client asks for delegation, the server/KDC might not grant it, and authentication will still succeed. **KerberosRealm**: The fully qualified domain name of the Kerberos Realm to use for GSSAPI authentication.This property may be set to the fully qualified (DNS) name of the kerberos realm (or Windows Active Directory domain name) to use during GSSAPI authentication. This can be used to force authentication with a given realm if the client and server machines are not part of the same domain. **KerberosSPN**: The Kerberos Service Principal Name of the SSH host.This property can be set to specify the Service Principal Name (SPN) associated with the SSH service on the remote host. This will usually be in the form "host/fqdn.of.sshhost[@REALM]". If not specified, the component will assume the SPN is based on the value of the [SSHHost](#sshhost-property-sftpclient-component) property and the kerberos realm used for authentication. **KeyRenegotiationThreshold**: Sets the threshold for the SSH Key Renegotiation.This property allows you to specify the threshold, in the number of bytes, for the Secure Shell (SSH) key renegotiation. The default value for this property is set to 1 GB. **Example. Setting the Threshold to 500 MB:** ```text SSHComponent.Config("KeyRenegotiationThreshold=524288000") ``` **LogLevel**: Specifies the level of detail that is logged.This configuration setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the [Log](#log-event-sftpclient-component) event. Possible values are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (None) | No messages are logged. | | 1 (Info - Default) | Informational events such as Secure Shell (SSH) handshake messages are logged. | | 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data such as individual packet information are logged. | | 3 (Debug) | Debug data including all relevant sent and received bytes are logged. | **MaxChannelDataLength[ChannelId]**: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no ChannelDataEOL is found.By *default* [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is *0* and [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is an empty string. SSHChannelData fires whenever an SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA packet is received. If [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is greater than *0* and [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is a nonempty string, the component will internally buffer data waiting to fire SSHChannelData until either [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) is reached or [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) is found, whichever comes first. Query [ChannelDataEOLFound](#ChannelDataEOLFound) to know which condition was met. The buffer is reset any time SSHChannelData fires. [ChannelDataEOL](#ChannelDataEOL) and [MaxChannelDataLength](#MaxChannelDataLength) *must* be set together or unexpected behavior could occur. **MaxPacketSize**: The maximum packet size of the channel, in bytes.This configuration setting specifies the maximum size of an individual data packet, in bytes, that can be sent to the sender. **MaxWindowSize**: The maximum window size allowed for the channel, in bytes.This configuration setting specifies how many bytes of channel data can be sent to the sender of this message without adjusting the window. NOTE: This value may be changed during the connection, but the window size can only be increased, not decreased. **NegotiatedStrictKex**: Returns whether strict key exchange was negotiated to be used.This configuration setting specifies whether strict key exchange (strict kex) was negotiated during the SSH handshake. If strict kex is being used, then this will return *"True"*. If strict kex is not being used, then this will return *"False"*. ```text component.Config("NegotiatedStrictKex") ``` **PasswordPrompt**: The text of the password prompt used in keyboard-interactive authentication.This configuration setting optionally specifies a pattern to be matched to the prompt received from the server during keyboard-interactive authentication. If a matching prompt is detected the component automatically responds to the prompt with the password specified by [SSHPassword](#sshpassword-property-sftpclient-component). This provides an easy way to automatically reply to prompts with the password if one is presented by the server. The password will be autofilled in the *Response* parameter of the [SSHKeyboardInteractive](#sshkeyboardinteractive-event-sftpclient-component) event in the case of a match. The following special characters are supported for pattern matching: | | | | --- | --- | | ? | Any single character. | | * | Any characters or no characters (e.g., C*t matches Cat, Cot, Coast, Ct). | | [,-] | A range of characters (e.g., [a-z], [a], [0-9], [0-9,a-d,f,r-z]). | | \ | The slash is ignored and exact matching is performed on the next character. | If these characters need to be used as a literal in a pattern, then they must be escaped by surrounding them with brackets []. NOTE: "]" and "-" do not need to be escaped. See below for the escape sequences: | Character | Escape Sequence | | --- | --- | | ? | [?] | | * | [*] | | [ | [[] | | \ | [\] | For example, to match the value [Something].txt, specify the pattern [[]Something].txt. **PreferredDHGroupBits**: The size (in bits) of the preferred modulus (p) to request from the server.This configuration setting may be when using the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 or diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange algorithms to control the preferred size, in bits, of the modulus (p) prime number to request from the server. Acceptable values are between 1024 and 8192. **RecordLength**: The length of received data records.If set to a positive value, this configuration setting defines the length of data records to be received. The component will accumulate data until RecordLength is reached and only then will it fire the DataIn event with data of length RecordLength. This allows data to be received as records of known length. This value can be changed at any time, including within the DataIn event. The default value is 0, meaning this setting is not used. **ServerSSHVersionString**: The remote host's SSH version string.This configuration setting will return the remote host's SSH version string, which can help when identifying problematic servers. This configuration setting is read-only. **SignedSSHCert**: The CA signed client public key used when authenticating.When authenticating via public key authentication, this setting may be set to the certificate authority (CA) signed client's public key. This is useful when the server has been configured to trust client keys signed by a particular CA. For instance: ```text component.Config("SignedSSHCert=ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB..."); ``` The algorithm such as *ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com* in the previous string is used as part of the authentication process. To use a different algorithm, simply change this value. For instance, all of the following are acceptable with the same signed public key: - *ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...* - *rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...* - *rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...* **SSHAcceptAnyServerHostKey**: If set the component will accept any key presented by the server.The default value is "False". Set this to "True" to accept any key presented by the server. **SSHAcceptServerCAKey**: The CA public key that signed the server's host key.If the server's host key was signed by a CA, this configuration setting may be used to specify the CA's public key. If specified, the component will trust any server's host key that was signed by the CA. For instance: ```text component.Config("SSHAcceptServerCAKey=ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQAB..."); ``` **SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint**: The fingerprint(s) of the server host keys to accept.This configuration setting specifies one or more fingerprints that should be accepted as the servers host key. Each fingerprint should be represented using the hash algorithm and encoding format defined by the [SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm](#SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm) and [SSHFingerprintEncoding](#SSHFingerprintEncoding) configs, respectively. By default, this config should be specified as the comma-separated list of hex-encoded SHA256 hashes of possible server host keys. **Example:** ```text // Assuming default values. Hex-encoded, SHA256 hash of the expected host key SSHClient.Config("SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint=61:2d:89:9c:55:67:5e:ca:22:86:fc:f6:07:59:67:e0:c7:77:08:1f:cc:d9:93:f3:f9:63:21:15:3e:0c:a2:1b"); // Base64-encoded, SHA256 hash of the expected host key SSHClient.Config("SSHFingerprintEncoding=1"); SSHClient.Config("SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint=n4bQgYhMfWWaL+qgxVrQFaO/TxsrC4Is0V1sFbDwCgg="); ``` If the server's fingerprint matches one of the values supplied, the component will accept the host key. **SSHFingerprintEncoding**: Specifies the encoding used when displaying the SSH host key fingerprint.This setting determines how the SSH host key fingerprint is displayed after it has been computed using the algorithm specified by [SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm](#SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm). Possible values are: - *0* (Hex Encoded) - *1* (Base64 Encoded - Default) For example, when set to *0*, the Fingerprint parameter in [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) will be formatted like: *0a:1b:2c:3d*. When set to *1*, the Fingerprint parameter in [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) will be formatted like: ```plaintext n4bQgYhMfWWaL+qgxVrQFaO/TxsrC4Is0V1sFbDwCgg= ``` . Note that this config is also applicable when querying the [SSHFingerprintMD5](#SSHFingerprintMD5), [SSHFingerprintSHA1](#SSHFingerprintSHA1), or [SSHFingerprintSHA256](#SSHFingerprintSHA256) configuration settings. Additionally, note that this config is also applicable if specifying the host key fingerprint via [SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint](#SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint). The value specified via [SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint](#SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerPrint) should be specified according to the format or encoding specified by this configuration setting. **SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm**: The algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint.This configuration setting controls which hash algorithm is used to calculate the hostkey's fingerprint, displayed when [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) fires. Valid values are as follows: - *MD5* - *SHA1* - *SHA256* (default) **SSHFingerprintMD5**: The server hostkey's MD5 fingerprint.This configuration setting may be queried in [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) to get the server hostkey's MD5 fingerprint. **SSHFingerprintSHA1**: The server hostkey's SHA1 fingerprint.This configuration setting may be queried in [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) to get the server hostkey's SHA-1 fingerprint. **SSHFingerprintSHA256**: The server hostkey's SHA256 fingerprint.This configuration setting may be queried in [SSHServerAuthentication](#sshserverauthentication-event-sftpclient-component) to get the server hostkey's SHA-256 fingerprint. **SSHKeepAliveCountMax**: The maximum number of keep alive packets to send without a response.This configuration setting specifies the maximum number of keep-alive packets to send when no response is received. Normally a response to a keep-alive packet is received right away. If no response is received, the component will continue to send keep-alive packets until [SSHKeepAliveCountMax](#SSHKeepAliveCountMax) is reached. If this is reached, the component will assume the connection is broken and disconnect. The default value is 5. **SSHKeepAliveInterval**: The interval between keep alive packets.This configuration setting specifies the number of seconds between keep alive packets. If set to a positive value, the component will send a SSH keep-alive packet after [KeepAliveInterval](#KeepAliveInterval) seconds of inactivity. This configuration setting takes effect only when there is no activity; if any data are sent or received over the connection, it will reset the timer. The default value is 0, meaning no keep alives will be sent. NOTE: The [SSHReverseTunnel](SSHReverseTunnel.md#SSHReverseTunnel) component uses a default value of 30. **SSHKeyExchangeAlgorithms**: Specifies the supported key exchange algorithms.This configuration setting may be used to specify the list of supported key exchange algorithms used during Secure Shell (SSH) negotiation. The value should contain a comma-separated list of algorithms. Supported algorithms are as follows: - curve25519-sha256 - curve25519-sha256@libssh.org - diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 - diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 - diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 - diffie-hellman-group16-sha512 - diffie-hellman-group18-sha512 - diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 - diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 - ecdh-sha2-nistp256 - ecdh-sha2-nistp384 - ecdh-sha2-nistp521 - gss-group14-sha256 - gss-group16-sha512 - gss-nistp256-sha256 - gss-curve25519-sha256 - gss-group14-sha1 - gss-gex-sha1 - mlkem768x25519-sha256 The default value is *curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,mlkem768x25519-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,gss-group14-sha256,gss-group16-sha512,gss-nistp256-sha256,gss-curve25519-sha256,gss-group14-sha1,gss-gex-sha1*. **SSHKeyRenegotiate**: Causes the component to renegotiate the SSH keys.Once this configuration setting is queried, the component will renegotiate the SSH keys with the remote host. **Example 3. Renegotiating SSH Keys:** ```text SSHClient.Config("SSHKeyRenegotiate") ``` **SSHMacAlgorithms**: Specifies the supported Mac algorithms.This configuration setting may be used to specify an alternate list of supported Mac algorithms used during SSH negotiation. This also specifies the order in which the Mac algorithms are preferred. The value should contain a comma-separated list of algorithms. Supported algorithms are as follows: - hmac-sha1 - hmac-md5 - hmac-sha1-96 - hmac-md5-96 - hmac-sha2-256 - hmac-sha2-256-96 - hmac-sha2-512 - hmac-sha2-512-96 - hmac-ripemd160 - hmac-ripemd160-96 - hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com - hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com - hmac-sha2-256-96-etm@openssh.com - hmac-sha2-512-96-etm@openssh.com - umac-64@openssh.com - umac-64-etm@openssh.com - umac-128@openssh.com - umac-128-etm@openssh.com The default value is *hmac-sha2-256,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha1,hmac-md5,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96,hmac-sha2-256-96,hmac-sha2-512-96,hmac-ripemd160-96,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,umac-64@openssh.com,umac-64-etm@openssh.com,umac-128@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com*. **SSHPubKeyAuthSigAlgorithms**: Specifies the enabled signature algorithms that may be used when attempting public key authentication.This setting specifies a list of signature algorithms that may be used when authenticating to the server using public key authentication. This applies only when public key authentication is performed by the client. The setting should be a comma-separated list of algorithms. At runtime, the component will evaluate the specified algorithms, and if the algorithm is applicable to the certificate specified in SSHCert, it will be used. If the algorithm is not applicable, the component will evaluate the next algorithm. Possible values are as follows: - ssh-rsa - rsa-sha2-256 - rsa-sha2-512 - ssh-dss - ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 - ecdsa-sha2-nistp384 - ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 - ssh-ed25519 - x509v3-sign-rsa - x509v3-sign-dss The default value in Windows is *ssh-rsa,rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512,ssh-dss,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ssh-ed25519*. **rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 notes** The component will query the server for supported algorithms when connecting. If the server indicates support for *rsa-sha2-256* or *rsa-sha2-512* and the algorithm is present in the list defined by this setting (as in the default value), that algorithm will be used instead of *ssh-rsa* even when *ssh-rsa* appears first in the list. For the *rsa-sha2-256* and *rsa-sha2-512* algorithms to be automatically preferred, the server must support the *ext-info-c* mechanism. In practice, older servers do not support this, and in that case, *ssh-rsa* will be used because it appears first in the list. Newer servers do support this mechanism, and in that case, *rsa-sha2-256* or *rsa-sha2-512* will be used even though it appears after *ssh-rsa*. This behavior has been carefully designed to provide maximum compatibility while automatically using more secure algorithms when connecting to servers that support them. **SSHPublicKeyAlgorithms**: Specifies the supported public key algorithms for the server's public key. This configuration setting specifies the allowed public key algorithms for the server's public key. This list controls only the public key algorithm used when authenticating the server's public key. This list has no bearing on the public key algorithms that can be used by the client when performing public key authentication to the server. The default value is *ssh-ed25519,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512,ssh-rsa,ssh-dss,x509v3-sign-rsa,x509v3-sign-dss*. **SSHVersionPattern**: The pattern used to match the remote host's version string.This configuration setting specifies the pattern used to accept or deny the remote host's SSH version string. It takes a comma-delimited list of patterns to match. The default value is "*SSH-1.99-*,*SSH-2.0-*" and will accept connections from SSH 1.99 and 2.0 hosts. As an example, the following value would accept connections for SSH 1.99, 2.0, and 2.99 hosts. ```text *SSH-1.99-*,*SSH-2.0-*,*SSH-2.99-* ``` **TryAllAvailableAuthMethods**: If set to true, the component will try all available authentication methods.The default value is *false*. When set to *true*, the component will try to authenticate using all methods that it has credentials for and the server supports. **UseStrictKeyExchange**: Specifies how strict key exchange is supported.This configuration setting controls whether strict key exchange (strict kex) is enabled to mitigate the Terrapin attack. When enabled, the component will indicate support for strict key exchange by automatically including the pseudo-algorithm *kex-strict-c-v00@openssh.com* for client components and *kex-strict-s-v00@openssh.com* for server components in the list of supported key exchange algorithms. Because both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the component provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 | Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the component. | | 1 (default) | Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue. | | 2 | Enabled, but will reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange, all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange, the connection will continue only if the selected encryption and message authentication code (MAC) algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack. | | 3 | Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange, the connection will fail. | **WaitForChannelClose**: Whether to wait for channels to be closed before disconnected.This configuration setting controls whether the component will wait for a server response to the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE when disconnecting. When the component disconnects, it will first attempt to close all open channels by sending a SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE for each channel. This configuration setting controls whether the component will wait for a server response after sending the messages. When *True* (default), the component will wait for a response to the channel close message until the responses have been received, the server closes the connection, or [Timeout](#timeout-property-sftpclient-component) seconds is reached. When *False*, the component will still send the channel close messages, but it will not wait for a response and will proceed to close the connection. **WaitForServerDisconnect**: Whether to wait for the server to close the connection.This configuration setting controls whether to wait for the server to close the connection when [SSHLogoff](#sshlogoff-method-sftpclient-component) is called. When set to *True*, the component will initiate the disconnection sequence by sending SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT, but it will not close the connection and instead will wait for the server to close the connection. Setting this to True may be beneficial in circumstances in which many connections are being established, to avoid port exhaustion when sockets are in a TIME_WAIT state. Allowing the server to close the connection avoids the TIME_WAIT state of socket on the client machine. When set to *False* (default), the client will close the connection. It is recommended to use this value unless there is a specific need to change it. ### TCPClient Config Settings **ConnectionTimeout**: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the component will use [Timeout](#timeout-property-sftpclient-component) for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data. **FirewallAutoDetect**: Tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **FirewallHost**: Name or IP address of firewall (optional).If a [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting. If the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned. NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **FirewallHTTPVersion**: The HTTP version to be used when connecting through a tunneling proxy.When [FirewallType](#FirewallType) is set to a tunneling proxy, this setting dictates which HTTP version is used when connecting. **FirewallPassword**: Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.If [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#FirewallUser) and [FirewallPassword](#FirewallPassword) settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **FirewallPort**: The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.The [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set automatically when [FirewallType](#FirewallType) is set to a valid value. NOTE: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **FirewallType**: Determines the type of firewall to connect through.Possible values are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 | No firewall (default setting). | | 1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 80. | | 2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. | | 3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. | | 10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. | NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **FirewallUser**: A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.If the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#FirewallUser) and [FirewallPassword](#FirewallPassword) settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties. **KeepAliveInterval**: The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.When set, [TCPKeepAlive](#TCPKeepAlive) will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by [KeepAliveTime](#KeepAliveTime). If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second. NOTE: This value is not applicable in macOS. **KeepAliveTime**: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.When set, [TCPKeepAlive](#TCPKeepAlive) will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds. **Linger**: When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True. In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires. In the second scenario, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection. The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes). Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action. **LingerTime**: Time in seconds to have the connection linger. LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout. **LocalHost**: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted. The [LocalHost](#localhost-property-sftpclient-component) setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address. In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. If the component is connected, the [LocalHost](#localhost-property-sftpclient-component) setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface). **LocalPort**: The port in the local host where the component binds. This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine. Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by [LocalPort](#localport-property-sftpclient-component) after the connection is established. [LocalPort](#localport-property-sftpclient-component) cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error. This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems. **MaxLineLength**: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.[MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string. If an EOL string is found in the input stream before [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the *EOL* parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset. If no EOL is found, and [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the *EOL* parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset. The minimum value for [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes. **MaxTransferRate**: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit. **ProxyExceptionsList**: A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance: *www.google.com;www.example.com* **TCPKeepAlive**: Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set [KeepAliveTime](#KeepAliveTime) and [KeepAliveInterval](#KeepAliveInterval) to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets. NOTE: This value is not applicable in Java. **TcpNoDelay**: Whether or not to delay when sending packets. When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm. By default, this configuration setting is set to False. **UseIPv6**: Whether to use IPv6.When set to *0* (default), the component will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to *1*, the component will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the component to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to *2*. The default value is *0*. Possible values are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 | IPv4 only | | 1 | IPv6 only | | 2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback | **UseNTLMv2**: Whether to use NTLM V2.When authenticating with NTLM, this setting specifies whether NTLM V2 is used. By default this value is True and NTLM V2 will be used. Set this to False to use NTLM V1. ### Socket Config Settings **AbsoluteTimeout**: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.If [AbsoluteTimeout](#AbsoluteTimeout) is set to True, any method that does not complete within [Timeout](#timeout-property-sftpclient-component) seconds will be aborted. By default, *AbsoluteTimeout* is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout. NOTE: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports. **FirewallData**: Used to send extra data to the firewall.When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes). **InBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the *InBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance. Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the *InBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. **OutBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the *OutBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance. Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the *OutBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. ### Base Config Settings **BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. **CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

It will return the following information: - Product: The product the license is for. - Product Key: The key the license was generated from. - License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File). - License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server). - Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work. **MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*. **UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the component whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *true*, the component will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), while all other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries. FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the *UseFIPSCompliantAPI* configuration setting to *true*. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all components of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior. For more details, please see the [FIPS 140-2 Compliance](https://www.nsoftware.com/kb/articles/fips.rst) article. NOTE: This setting is applicable only on Windows. NOTE: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact [sales@nsoftware.com](mailto:sales@nsoftware.com) for details. **UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries. This setting is set to *false* by default on all platforms. # Trappable Errors ([SFTPClient](#sftpclient-component) Component) ### SFTPClient Errors | | | | --- | --- | | 118 | Firewall error.
