#  Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp->put_ConnectTimeoutMs(15000);

#  Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
#  both password-based authenication as well as public-key
#  authentication.  This example uses password authenication.

#  Upload from the local file to the SSH server.
#  Important -- the remote filepath is the 1st argument,
#  the local filepath is the 2nd argument;
