(AutoIt) FTP through SSH Tunnel with Dynamic Port Forwarding

Demonstrates how to start a background thread that runs a portable SSH tunnel w/ dynamic port forwarding that the foreground thread can be used for establishing FTP sessions through an SSH tunnel.

Note: Some developers may be accustomed to starting an stunnel.exe proxy from https://www.stunnel.org. The stunnel.exe is not necessary here. Chilkat's background thread fulfills the task of what the external stunnel.exe does. Therefore, your application is self-contained, meaning that it can run anywhere because the SSH tunnel proxy is built-in.

; Starting in v9.5.0.49, all Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program
; by calling UnlockBundle.  It requires a Bundle unlock code.
$oChilkatGlob = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Global")
Local $bSuccess = $oChilkatGlob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial.")

$bSuccess = $oTunnel.Connect($sshHostname,$iSshPort)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oTunnel.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Authenticate with the SSH server via a login/password
; or with a public key.  
; This example demonstrates SSH password authentication.

; Indicate that the background SSH tunnel thread will behave as a SOCKS proxy server
; with dynamic port forwarding:
$oTunnel.DynamicPortForwarding = True

; We may optionally require that connecting clients authenticate with our SOCKS proxy server.
; To do this, set an inbound username/password.  Any connecting clients would be required to 
; use SOCKS5 with the correct username/password.
; If no inbound username/password is set, then our SOCKS proxy server will accept both
; SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 unauthenticated connections.

; Now that a background thread is running a SOCKS proxy server that forwards connections
; through an SSH tunnel, it is possible to use any Chilkat implemented protocol that is SOCKS capable,
; such as HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, FTP, etc.  The protocol may use SSL/TLS because the SSL/TLS
; will be passed through the SSH tunnel to the end-destination.  Also, any number of simultaneous
; connections may be routed through the SSH tunnel.

; The SOCKS5 login/password set here must equal the InboundSocksUsername/Password set above.

; or even connections for any other purpose, such as HTTP, IMAP, SMTP, POP3, etc.
