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

loSsh = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ssh')

* Connect to an SSH server:
lcHostname = "MY-SSH-SERVER-DOMAIN-OR-IP"
lnPort = 22

lnSuccess = loSsh.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText

    CANCEL
ENDIF

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

* Authenticate using login/password:
lnSuccess = loSsh.AuthenticatePw("MY-SSH-LOGIN","MY-SSH-PASSWORD")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSsh
    CANCEL
ENDIF

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

* Download synchronization modes:
* mode=0: Download all files
* mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
* mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
* mode=3: Download only newer files.  
*         If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
* mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
* mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.

* Do not recurse the remote directory tree.  Only download files matching *.pem
* from the given remote directory.
