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

ssh = chilkat2.Ssh()

# Connect to an SSH server:

# Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"
port = 22

success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
if (success != True):
    print(ssh.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

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

# Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
if (success != True):
    print(ssh.LastErrorText)

# Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
# as the underlying transport in our SCP object.
