We are creating SFTP connections programmatically via the VisualCron Api.
Is there a way to test these and other connection types through the Api?

Any pointers to code samples that do this would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

No, we do not have any built in testing for this in the API right now.

I found a way to test a Connection object in the latest versions of VC (I'm using 9.1.5).
Use the Connections.Test method to test and return the results.
I haven't tested this but here is a code sample (brought together from other posts)

 c = new Client();
                c.LogToFile = true;

                Connection conn = new Connection();
                conn.UseADLogon = true;
                conn.UseCompression = true;
                conn.Port = 16444;
                conn.Address = "vcserver.com";
                conn.ConnectionType = Connection.ConnectionT.Remote;

             
                    s = c.Connect(conn, true);
             
                while (!s.Connected)
                {
                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
                }

//I setup  a template connection on the server and use its guid to pull it back so I can default some params below
ConnectionClass cTemplate = s.Connections.Get("GUID");
 ConnectionClass connection = new ConnectionClass(ConnectionClass.ProtocolT.SFTP);
                            connection.Name = "TEST CONNECTION";
                            connection.Group = "TEST CONNECTION GROUP";
                            connection.AuthenticationType = ConnectionClass.AuthenticationT.Password;
                            connection.UserName = c.Encrypt("USERNAME");
                            connection.PassWord = c.Encrypt("PASSWORD");
                            connection.PasswordAuthentication = true;
                            connection.Host = c.Encrypt("test.com");
                            connection.Port = 22;
                            connection.EncryptionAlgorithms = cTemplate.EncryptionAlgorithms;
                            connection.KEXAlgorithms = cTemplate.KEXAlgorithms;
                            connection.MACAlgorithms = cTemplate.MACAlgorithms;
                            connection.SecurityMode = ConnectionClass.SecurityModeT.Explicit;
                            connection.AutoAdjustCiphers = true;
                            connection.AutoAdjustFTPCiphers = false;
                            connection.PrivateKeyPath = "";
                            connection.UseCompression = true;
                            connection.AdjustPasvAddress = false;
                            connection.ACCT = c.Encrypt("");
                            connection.PrivateKeyPassWord = c.Encrypt("");
                            connection.SAPExternalUsername = c.Encrypt("");
                            connection.LogReceived = true;
                            connection.LogSent = true;
 TestConnectionClass testConnObj = new TestConnectionClass();
                        testConnObj.Connection = connection;
                        TestConnectionResultClass testResult = s.Connections.Test(testConnObj);
                        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
                        Console.WriteLine(testResult.ErrorMessage);
                        Console.WriteLine(testResult.Success.ToString());
