set ssh = CreateObject("Chilkat.Ssh")

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

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

'  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
'  of the SOCKS proxy server:
ssh.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:
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
port = 22

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

'  Your application is now connected to an SSH server
'  through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
