    //  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.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";
    ssh.SocksPort = 1080;
    ssh.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin";
    ssh.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword";

    //  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    //  of the SOCKS proxy server:
    ssh.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:
    var hostname;
    var port;

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