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

loSsh = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ssh')

* Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
lcHostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"
lnPort = 22

* Connect to an SSH server:
lnSuccess = loSsh.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSsh
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
loSsh.IdleTimeoutMs = 5000

* Authenticate using login/password:
lnSuccess = loSsh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSsh
    CANCEL
ENDIF

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