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

$oSsh = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Ssh")

; Connect to an SSH server:
Local $sHostname
Local $iPort

; Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
$sHostname = "192.168.1.108"
$iPort = 22

$bSuccess = $oSsh.Connect($sHostname,$iPort)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSsh.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

EndIf

; Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..

; Authenticate using login/password:
$bSuccess = $oSsh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then

; The SendReqExec method starts a command on the remote
; server.   The syntax of the command string depends on the
; default shell used on the remote server to run the command.
; On Windows systems it is CMD.EXE.  On UNIX/Linux
; systems the user's default shell is typically defined in /etc/password.

; Here are some examples of command lines for <b>Windows SSH servers</b>:

; Get a directory listing:
Local $sCmd1 = "dir"

; Do a nameserver lookup:
Local $sCmd2 = "nslookup chilkatsoft.com"

; List a specific directory.  Given that the shell is CMD.EXE, backslashes must
; be used:
Local $sCmd3 = "dir \temp"

; Execute a sequence of commands.  The syntax for CMD.EXE may be found
; here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490880.aspx.  Notice how the commands
; are separated by "&&" and the entire command must be enclosed in quotes:
Local $sCmd4 = """cd \temp&&dir"""

; Here are two examples of command lines for <b>Linux/UNIX SSH servers</b>:

; Get a directory listing:
Local $sCmd5 = "ls -l /tmp"

; Run a series of commands (syntax may depend on your default shell):
Local $sCmd6 = "cd /etc; ls -la"

; Request a directory listing on the remote server:
; If your server is Windows, change the string from "ls" to "dir"
$bSuccess = $oSsh.SendReqExec($iChannelNum,"ls")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSsh.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Call ChannelReceiveToClose to read 
; output until the server's corresponding "channel close" is received.
$bSuccess = $oSsh.ChannelReceiveToClose($iChannelNum)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSsh.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Let's pickup the accumulated output of the command:
Local $sCmdOutput = $oSsh.GetReceivedText($iChannelNum,"ansi")
If ($oSsh.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSsh.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Display the remote shell's command output:
ConsoleWrite($sCmdOutput & @CRLF)

; Disconnect
$oSsh.Disconnect
