loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

* To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
* and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
* and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
* HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
loSftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
loSftp.HttpProxyPort = 3128

* Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
* traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

* Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
