# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$ssh = chilkat::CkSsh->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:
$ssh->put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
$ssh->put_SocksPort(1080);
$ssh->put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
$ssh->put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");

# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$ssh->put_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:

# Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
$hostname = "192.168.1.108";
$port = 22;

$success = $ssh->Connect($hostname,$port);
