*  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
*  properties prior to connecting:
*  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or
*  IP address:
loFtp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loFtp.SocksPort = 1080
loFtp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loFtp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
*  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
*  of the SOCKS proxy server:
loFtp.SocksVersion = 5
*  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
*  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

*  Connect and login to the FTP server.
