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

// First connect to an SSH server.
$success = $ssh->Connect('example.com',22);

// Authenticate..

// After the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
// as the underlying transport in our SCP object.

// Specify the environment variables to be set in JSON as follows.
// This example sets two environment variables.  One is named "LCS_PASSWORD" and the other "MY_TEST_NAME".

// Setting the SendEnv property causes Chilkat to set each environment variable on the SSH server
// prior to doing the upload or download.
$scp->SendEnv = $strEnvVars;

// Do the upload..
