Dim ssh As New ChilkatSsh

' Connect to an SSH server:
Dim hostname As String
Dim port As Long

' Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"
port = 22

success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub

' Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
' as the underlying transport in our SCP object.
