void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final sftp = CkSFtp();

  // Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
  sftp.connectTimeoutMs = 5000;
  sftp.idleTimeoutMs = 10000;

  // Connect to the SSH server.  
  // The standard SSH port = 22
  // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

  try {
    sftp.connect(hostname, port);

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

  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {

  // After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
  try {
    sftp.initializeSftp();
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Delete a file on the server:

  try {
    sftp.removeFile('hamlet.xml');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
