(PowerBuilder) FTP through SSH Tunnel

Demonstrates how to FTP through an SSH tunnel.

The Chilkat SSH tunnel object is used to create a portable SSH tunnel w/ dynamic port forwarding on a background thread that the foreground thread can use for establishing connections through an SSH tunnel.

// Now that a background thread is running a SOCKS proxy server that forwards connections
// through an SSH tunnel, it is possible to use any Chilkat implemented protocol that is SOCKS capable,
// such as Socket, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, FTP, etc.  The protocol may use SSL/TLS because the SSL/TLS
// will be passed through the SSH tunnel to the end-destination.  Also, any number of simultaneous
// connections may be routed through the SSH tunnel.
