' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim ssh As Chilkat.Ssh
Set ssh = Chilkat.NewSsh

' Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:

hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"

port = 22

' Connect to an SSH server:

success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.IdleTimeoutMs = 5000

' Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub

' Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
' in our SCP object.

' The byte representation of the remote text file (i.e. the charset) must be
' indicated to allow the receiving software to correctly interpret the incoming
' bytes as the correct chars.
' See https://www.chilkatsoft.com/p/p_463.asp for a list of valid charset names.

Debug.Print "SCP download string success."
