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

loSftp = createobject("CkSFtp")

// Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
loSftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000
loSftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 10000

// Connect to the SSH server.  
// The standard SSH port = 22
// The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

// Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
// both password-based authenication as well as public-key
// authentication.  This example uses password authenication.

// Delete a directory on the server.
