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

    // Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
    sftp.SetConnectTimeoutMs(5000)
    sftp.SetIdleTimeoutMs(10000)

    // The standard SSH port = 22
    // The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

    // both password-based authenication as well as public-key
    // authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
