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

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

* To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
* properties prior to connecting:
* The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
* IP address:
loSftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loSftp.SocksPort = 1080
loSftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loSftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

* Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
* of the SOCKS proxy server:
loSftp.SocksVersion = 5

* Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
* SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

* Connect to the SSH server.  
* The standard SSH port = 22
* The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
lcHostname = "sftp.example.com"
lnPort = 22
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
* through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
