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

Dim sftp As Chilkat.SFtp
Set sftp = Chilkat.NewSFtp

' Pass a domain or IP address..

success = sftp.Connect("my-sftp-server.com",22)
If (success = True) Then
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySFtpLogin","mySFtpPassword")
End If

If (success = True) Then
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
End If

If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print sftp.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' In this example, the we already have a symbolic link named "sshd_config"
' in our SSH/SFTP user account's HOME directory.  Get the target of this link:

path = sftp.ReadLink("sshd_config")
If (sftp.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.Print sftp.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "symlink target path = "; path

' Output is:  
' symlink target path = /etc/ssh/sshd_confi
