# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Connect to the SSH server.  
# The standard SSH port = 22
# The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.

# both password-based authenication as well as public-key
# authentication.  This example uses password authenication.

# Download the file:

# The ResumeDownloadFileByName method will check
# the local file and begin downloading the remote file
# at the appropriate point.  For example, if the local
# file is already 215624 bytes long, it will begin downloading
# the remote file at the 215625'th byte -- appending to
# the local file.
