(Node.js) SSH using SOCKS Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an SSH server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

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

    var ssh = new chilkat.Ssh();

    // 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:
    ssh.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";
    ssh.SocksPort = 1080;
    ssh.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin";
    ssh.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword";

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

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

    // Connect to an SSH server via a SOCKS proxy:
    var hostname;
    var port;

    // Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
    hostname = "192.168.1.108";

    // through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
