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

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