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

Chilkat.SFtp sftp = new Chilkat.SFtp();

//  Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
sftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000;
sftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 10000;

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

int port = 22;
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port);

//  both password-based authenication as well as public-key
//  authentication.  This example uses password authenication.

//  After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:

//  Download the file:

//  The ResumeDownloadFileByName method will check
//  the local file and begin downloading the remote file
//  at the appropriate point.  For example, if the local
//  file is already 215624 bytes long, it will begin downloading
//  the remote file at the 215625'th byte -- appending to
//  the local file.
