# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$sftp = New-Object Chilkat.SFtp

# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
$sftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
$sftp.HttpProxyPort = 3128

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
$success = $sftp.Connect("sftp.example.com",22)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($sftp.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
# through an HTTP proxy.
