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

loKey = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.SshKey')

* The id_ed25519 file should contain something like this:
* (You can open it in a text editor..)

* -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

    RELEASE loKey
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* If your private key was saved encrypted, then you'll need the password.
* In this example, the password "blahblah" is valid for the above key -- which is a real Ed25519 key generated/saved from puttygen.
loKey.Password = "blahblah"

lnSuccess = loKey.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(lcPrivKeyText)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loKey.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loKey
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp')

* Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
loSftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000
loSftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 15000

lcHostname = "sftp.example.com"
lnPort = 22
lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect(lcHostname,lnPort)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loKey
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
* both password-based authenication as well as public-key
* authentication.  
lnSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePk("myLogin",loKey)
