Specifying an interface to use (e.g. wifi)

[emmanuelproulx]

In my iOS app I have to go through the available wifi interface even if there isn't any Internet on it. But by default, iOS will go through the cellular network.

This is a big problem to me. I need to be able to specify the interface type.

I believe this translates to using SSH_OPTIONS_BINDADDR but I can't find this option in the mft library.

Is there a workaround?

If not, would it be possible to add this?

    var bindAddress: String = ""

    public init(hostname: String, port: Int, username: String, password: String, bindAddress: String = "") {
        
        self.hostname = hostname
        self.port = port
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.bindAddress = bindAddress
        self.prvKeyPath = ""
        self.prvKey = ""
        self.passphrase = ""
        self.sshAgentSocketPath = ""
    }

    func _connect() throws {
        
        session = ssh_new()
...
        if self.bindAddress != "" {
            if ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_BINDADDR, self.bindAddress) < 0 {
                defer {
                    ssh_free(session)
                    session = nil
                }
                throw error_ssh()
            }
        }
...

Then I would be able to specify the network type like this:

                var sftp: MFTSftpConnection!
                sftp = MFTSftpConnection(
                    hostname: host, port: port, username: username,
                    password: password, bindAddress: myWifiIpAddress)
