Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp")
set sftp = CreateObject("Chilkat.SFtp")

' Pass a domain or IP address..
success = sftp.Connect("my-sftp-server.com",22)
If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySFtpLogin","mySFtpPassword")
End If

If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
End If

If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Create a hard link on the server.
' We'll create the hard link named "somefile2.txt" in our HOME directory
' which links to the file somefile.txt also in our HOME directory.
success = sftp.HardLink("somefile.txt","somefile2.txt")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("Successfully created hard link.")

outFile.Close
