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

sftp = chilkat2.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.
hostname = "sftp.example.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
if (success != True):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
# through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
