// 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 = 15000

// Connect to the SSH server.  
// 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.

// Open a file on the server for writing.
// "createTruncate" means that a new file is created; if the file already exists, it is opened and truncated.
