UseIPv6


Determines if IPv6 addresses are allowed.

Type

A Long value. If successful, 0 is returned, otherwise error as specified here

Syntax

  • C
long Sftp_GetUseIPv6(void *Sftp, int *pVal);
long Sftp_SetUseIPv6(void *Sftp, int newVal);
The UseIPv6(void *Sftp,int *pVal, newVal) syntax has these parts:
void *SftpHandle of the created Sftp instance.
int *pVal, newValInteger, when set to a nonzero value forces wodSFTP to the execute function in with UseIPv6 - causing your code to wait until the function completes.

Remarks

UseIPv6 UseIPv6 determines if component will accept IPv6 addresses when trying to connect to remote server. It will accept both numeric values, such as
    fe80::213:20ff:fe91:5bb5
but also fully qualified hostnames that resolve to such IPv6 addresses, such as
    www.google.com.sixxs.org When you supply Hostname, component will first try to determine if IPv4 was entered, and then if it fails IPv6.

    In order to use IPv6, your version of Windows needs to support it. To install it on Windows XP, right-click on your 'network connection interface' icon, select 'Properties', and then check if
      Microsoft TCP/IP version 6
    is listed. If not, click on 'Install' button, choose 'Protocol' and then locate above from the list. If IPv6 stack is not installed on the computer, this property is ignored.
