#  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 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:
sftp.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com")
sftp.put_SocksPort(1080)
sftp.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
sftp.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")

#  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
#  of the SOCKS proxy server:
sftp.put_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.

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 a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
