(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) FTP through SSH Tunnel

Demonstrates how to FTP through an SSH tunnel.

The Chilkat SSH tunnel object is used to create a portable SSH tunnel w/ dynamic port forwarding on a background thread that the foreground thread can use for establishing connections through an SSH tunnel.

' Starting in v9.5.0.49, all Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program
' by calling UnlockBundle.  It requires a Bundle unlock code.
Dim chilkatGlob As New Chilkat.Global
Dim success As Boolean = chilkatGlob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial.")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(chilkatGlob.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' This example requires Chilkat version 9.5.0.50 or greater.
Dim tunnel As New Chilkat.SshTunnel


Dim sshHostname As String = "www.my-ssh-server.com"
Dim sshPort As Integer = 22

' Connect to an SSH server and establish the SSH tunnel:
success = Await tunnel.ConnectAsync(sshHostname,sshPort)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(tunnel.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Authenticate with the SSH server via a login/password
' or with a public key.  
' This example demonstrates SSH password authentication.
success = Await tunnel.AuthenticatePwAsync("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(tunnel.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



' Indicate that the background SSH tunnel thread will behave as a SOCKS proxy server
' with dynamic port forwarding:
tunnel.DynamicPortForwarding = True

' We may optionally require that connecting clients authenticate with our SOCKS proxy server.
' To do this, set an inbound username/password.  Any connecting clients would be required to 
' use SOCKS5 with the correct username/password.
' If no inbound username/password is set, then our SOCKS proxy server will accept both
' SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 unauthenticated connections.

tunnel.InboundSocksUsername = "chilkat123"
tunnel.InboundSocksPassword = "password123"

' Start the listen/accept thread to begin accepting SOCKS proxy client connections.
' Listen on port 1080.
success = Await tunnel.BeginAcceptingAsync(1080)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(tunnel.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



' Now that a background thread is running a SOCKS proxy server that forwards connections
' through an SSH tunnel, it is possible to use any Chilkat implemented protocol that is SOCKS capable,
' such as Socket, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, FTP, etc.  The protocol may use SSL/TLS because the SSL/TLS
' will be passed through the SSH tunnel to the end-destination.  Also, any number of simultaneous
' connections may be routed through the SSH tunnel.


' Let's do an FTP upload through the SSH tunnel.  Both the control and data connections 
' go through the tunnel.
Dim ftp As New Chilkat.Ftp2

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.Username = "login"
ftp.Password = "password"

' Indicate that the FTP2 object is to use our portable SOCKS proxy/SSH tunnel running in our background thread.
ftp.SocksHostname = "localhost"
ftp.SocksPort = 1080
ftp.SocksVersion = 5
ftp.SocksUsername = "chilkat123"
ftp.SocksPassword = "password123"

' Connect to the FTP server
success = Await ftp.ConnectOnlyAsync()
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Authenticate with the FTP server.
success = Await ftp.LoginAfterConnectOnlyAsync()
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
success = Await ftp.ChangeRemoteDirAsync("junk")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Upload a file.
Dim localPath As String = "/temp/hamlet.xml"
Dim remoteFilename As String = "hamlet.xml"

success = Await ftp.PutFileAsync(localPath,remoteFilename)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' This closes the SSH channel within the SSH tunnel,
' and thus closes the connection with the FTP server.
success = Await ftp.DisconnectAsync()

Debug.WriteLine("File Uploaded!")


' Stop the background listen/accept thread:
Dim waitForThreadExit As Boolean = True
success = tunnel.StopAccepting(waitForThreadExit)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(tunnel.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



' Close the SSH tunnel (would also kick any remaining connected clients).
success = tunnel.CloseTunnel(waitForThreadExit)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(tunnel.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
