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

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

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

*  Connect to an SSH server via a SOCKS 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 a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
