' 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")

' To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
' properties prior to connecting:
' The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
' IP address:
sftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
sftp.SocksPort = 1080
sftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
sftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

' Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
' of the SOCKS proxy server:
sftp.SocksVersion = 5

' Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
' SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

' Connect to the SSH server.  
' The standard SSH port = 22
' The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
hostname = "sftp.example.com"
port = 22
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Your application is now connected to an SFTP/SSH server 
' through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
