Demonstrates how to upload a file using the SCP protocol (Secure Copy Protocol over SSH). Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let ssh = CkoSsh()!

    // Connect to an SSH server:
    var hostname: String?
    var port: Int

    // Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
    hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com"
    port = 22

    success = ssh.connect(hostname: hostname, port: port)
    if success != true {
        print("\(ssh.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
    ssh.idleTimeoutMs = 5000

    // Authenticate using login/password:
    success = ssh.authenticatePw(login: "myLogin", password: "myPassword")
    if success != true {
        print("\(ssh.lastErrorText!)")
        return

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