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

    CkSsh ssh;

    // 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:
    ssh.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
    ssh.put_SocksPort(1080);
    ssh.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
    ssh.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");

    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    ssh.put_SocksVersion(5);

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

    // Connect to an SSH server via a SOCKS proxy:
    const char *hostname = 0;
    int port;

    // Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
    hostname = "192.168.1.108";
    port = 22;

    bool success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port);
    if (success != true) {
        strOut.append(ssh.lastErrorText());
        strOut.append("\r\n");

    // through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
