import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

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

sftp = chilkat2.SFtp()

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
sftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000
sftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 10000

# Connect to the SSH server.  
# The standard SSH port = 22
# The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
hostname = "sftp.example.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
# both password-based authenication as well as public-key
# authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Rename the file or directory:
success = sftp.RenameFileOrDir("oldFilename.txt","newFilename.txt")
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
