' This example assumes 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.SFtp")
set sftp = Server.CreateObject("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.
hostname = "sftp.example.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sftp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
' both password-based authenication as well as public-key
' authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sftp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sftp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Delete a file on the server:

success = sftp.RemoveFile("hamlet.xml")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sftp.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "File Deleted!") & "</pre>"
