    //  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following

    //  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
    //  IP address:
    sftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";

    //  of the SOCKS proxy server:

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

    //  Connect to the SSH server.
