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

sftp = Chilkat::CkSFtp.new()

#  Any string automatically begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.
success = sftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  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.
sftp.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com")
sftp.put_HttpProxyPort(3128)

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

#  Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.
#  The standard SSH port = 22
#  The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

hostname = "www.my-ssh-server.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server
#  through an HTTP proxy.
