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

$oSftp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.SFtp")

; Connect to the SSH/SFTP server.  
Local $sHostname = "sftp.example.com"
Local $iPort = 22
Local $bSuccess = $oSftp.Connect($sHostname,$iPort)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
; both password-based authenication as well as public-key
; authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
$bSuccess = $oSftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
$bSuccess = $oSftp.InitializeSftp()
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Get the file permissions for the "hamlet.xml" file on the server.
; The hamlet.xml file is located in the qa_data directory found under the HOME directory of the SSH user account.
; We are passing the remote file path (we are not passing a file handle returned by a previous call to OpenFile).
Local $bIsHandle = False
Local $bFollowLinks = True
Local $iPermVal = $oSftp.GetFilePermissions("qa_data/hamlet.xml",$bFollowLinks,$bIsHandle)
If ($iPermVal < 0) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Note: Filesystem permissions on Linux/Unix/MacOSX are typically written in octal (POSIX file permissions).  For example 0644 is octal.
; To convert to decimal: octal 644 = 6*8^2 + 4*8 + 4 = 420 (decimal)
; 
; The server may return a permissions value (in octal) such as 100644.
; The "100" indicates the file type, such as regular file or directory. 

; Show the decimal value of the permissions
ConsoleWrite("decimal permissions value: " & $iPermVal & @CRLF)

; To set the file permissions, pass the integer value.
; Let's change the permissions to 0664, which is 6*8^2 + 6*8 + 4 = 436 (decimal)
$bSuccess = $oSftp.SetPermissions("qa_data/hamlet.xml",$bIsHandle,436)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSftp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("Success." & @CRLF)
