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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Ssh")
set ssh = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Ssh")

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

' Connect to an SSH server:
success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( ssh.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.IdleTimeoutMs = 5000

' Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( ssh.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
' in our SCP object.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Scp")
set scp = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Scp")

' Now upload from the base64 string to the SSH server.
' Insided the call to UploadBinaryEncoded, the base64 string is decoded,
' and the decoded bytes are uploaded.  The resulting starfish2.jpg on the
' server will be identical to the original starfish.jpg
