    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatSFtp)) To hoSftp

    // To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    // and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    // and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    // HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    Set ComHttpProxyHostname Of hoSftp To "www.my-http-proxy.com"
    Set ComHttpProxyPort Of hoSftp To 3128

    // Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    // traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    // Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
    Get ComConnect Of hoSftp "sftp.example.com" 22 To iSuccess
