Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim sftp As ChilkatSFtp
sftp.Initialize("sftp")

'  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
'  properties prior to connecting:
'  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
'  IP address:
sftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
sftp.SocksPort = 1080
sftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
sftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

'  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
'  of the SOCKS proxy server:
sftp.SocksVersion = 5

'  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
'  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

'  Connect to the SSH server.  
'  The standard SSH port = 22
'  The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
Dim hostname As String = "sftp.example.com"
Dim port As Int = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname, port)
