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

Dim sftp As New Chilkat.SFtp

// Set some timeouts, in milliseconds:
sftp.ConnectTimeoutMs = 5000
sftp.IdleTimeoutMs = 10000

// Connect to the SSH server.  
// The standard SSH port = 22
// The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
Dim hostname As String
hostname = "sftp.example.com"
Dim port As Int32
port = 22
Dim success As Boolean
success = sftp.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Authenticate with the SSH server.  Chilkat SFTP supports
// both password-based authenication as well as public-key
// authentication.  This example uses password authenication.
success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// After authenticating, the SFTP subsystem must be initialized:
success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Delete a directory on the server.
// The directory should be empty prior to deleting.
success = sftp.RemoveDir("abc123")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Directory Deleted!")
