Dim ssh As New ChilkatSsh

Dim success As Long

'  Unlock the SSH component:
success = ssh.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.")
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  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.
ssh.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
ssh.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:
Dim hostname As String
Dim port As Long

'  Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
port = 22

success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

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