LOCAL lcHostname

*  Important: It is helpful to send the contents of the
*  sftp.LastErrorText property when requesting support.

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

*  Any string automatically begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.

lnSuccess = loSftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loSftp.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  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:
loSftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loSftp.SocksPort = 1080
loSftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loSftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

*  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
*  of the SOCKS proxy server:
loSftp.SocksVersion = 5

*  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
*  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

*  Connect to the SSH server.
*  The standard SSH port = 22
*  The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

lcHostname = "www.my-ssh-server.com"
lnPort = 22
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loSftp.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server
*  through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
