LOCAL loSsh
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lcHostname
LOCAL lnPort

loSsh = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ssh')

*  Unlock the SSH component:
lnSuccess = loSsh.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loSsh.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
*  and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
*  and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
*  HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
loSsh.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
loSsh.HttpProxyPort = 3128

*  Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
*  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

*  Connect to an SSH server via an HTTP proxy:

*  Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
lcHostname = "192.168.1.108"
lnPort = 22

lnSuccess = loSsh.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loSsh.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Your application is now connected to an SSH server
*  through an HTTP proxy.
