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

Dim ssh As New Chilkat.Ssh

' Connect to an SSH server:
Dim hostname As String
Dim port As Integer

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

Dim success As Boolean = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.IdleTimeoutMs = 5000

' Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



' Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
' as the underlying transport in our SCP object.
Dim scp As New Chilkat.Scp

success = scp.UseSsh(ssh)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(scp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim remotePath As String = "test.txt"
Dim localPath As String = "/home/bob/test.txt"
success = scp.UploadFile(localPath,remotePath)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(scp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("SCP upload file success.")
