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

$sftp = chilkat::CkSFtp->new();

# Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
$sftp->put_ConnectTimeoutMs(5000);
$sftp->put_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.
$success = $sftp->AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword");

# After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
$success = $sftp->InitializeSftp();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Rename the file or directory:
$success = $sftp->RenameFileOrDir("oldFilename.txt","newFilename.txt");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $sftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}
