ProxyHostname property


Specifies the hostname of proxy to use.

Type

String.

Syntax

  • C#
  • VB.NET
String ProxyHostname {get; set; };

Property ProxyHostname As String

Remarks

When the wodSFTP.NET client is unable to establish a direct connection (not connected directly to the internet, for example), the proxy option can be used. There are several types of proxies supported by the wodSFTP.NET component. When any proxy is used, this property specifies the hostname for the remote proxy. Be careful, though. This property is not same as the Hostname property.

When a connection to a proxy is established, wodSFTP.NET will issue a request to the proxy to open a remote connection to the hostname specified by the ProxyHostname property.

For example,
 
   wodSFTP1.ProxyType = ProxyTypes.ProxyWEBStandard;
   wodSFTP1.ProxyHostname = "proxy.server.com";
   wodSFTP1.ProxyPort = 80;
 
   wodSFTP1.Connect ("linux.weonlydo.com"...)
 

would connect to WeOnlyDo's test SFTP server, but through the proxy 'proxy.server.com'.
