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

Chilkat.Ssh ssh = new Chilkat.Ssh();

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

// Connect to an SSH server:
bool success = await ssh.ConnectAsync(hostname,port);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.IdleTimeoutMs = 5000;

// Authenticate using login/password:
success = await ssh.AuthenticatePwAsync("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
// in our SCP object.
Chilkat.Scp scp = new Chilkat.Scp();

if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(scp.LastErrorText);

    return;

Debug.WriteLine("SCP download file success.");

// Disconnect
