(Classic ASP) SCP Download from a Specific Directory

Demonstrates how to download a file using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH), from a specific remote directory located on the SSH server. The remote directory can be a path relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account, or an absolute path on the remote filesystem. Obviously, in both cases the SSH user account must have permission to open and read the file in the specified directory.

' 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")

success = scp.UseSsh(ssh)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( scp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' This downloads a file from the "testApp/logs/" subdirectory (relative to the SSH user account's HOME directory).  
' For example, if the HOME directory is /Users/chilkat, then the following downloads
' /Users/chilkat/testApp/logs/test1.log
remotePath = "testApp/logs/test1.log"
localPath = "c:/testApp/logs/test1.log"
success = scp.DownloadFile(remotePath,localPath)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( scp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The following call to DownloadFile specifies an absolute file path on the SSH server:
remotePath = "/Users/chilkat/Documents/gecko.jpg"
localPath = "c:/temp/images/gecko.jpg"

If (success <> 1) Then
