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

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

# 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:
$sftp->put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
$sftp->put_SocksPort(1080);
$sftp->put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
$sftp->put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");

# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$sftp->put_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.
$hostname = "sftp.example.com";
$port = 22;
$success = $sftp->Connect($hostname,$port);

# Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
# through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
