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

Dim sftp As New Chilkat.SFtp

' To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
' and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
' and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
' HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
sftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
sftp.HttpProxyPort = 3128

' Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
' traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

' Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.  
Dim success As Boolean = Await sftp.ConnectAsync("sftp.example.com",22)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server
