Demonstrates how to upload a file to an SSH server in the simplest way -- by calling UploadFileByName and passing remote and local filepaths. Chilkat2 Perl

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

my $sftp = Chilkat2::SFtp->new;

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp->ConnectTimeoutMs(15000);

# Connect to the SSH server.
# The standard SSH port = 22
# The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

# Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
# both password-based authenication as well as public-key
# authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
$success = $sftp->AuthenticatePw('myLogin', 'myPassword');
