// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to connecting:
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
loSftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loSftp.SocksPort = 1080
loSftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loSftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
loSftp.SocksVersion = 5

// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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