# 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)
if (success != true)
    print sftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

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