Continue SFTP Keyboard-Interactive Authentication

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat SFtp.ContinueKeyboardAuth method, which submits a response to a keyboard-interactive prompt. The only argument is the response text; for a request with multiple prompts, an XML response is supplied instead. It returns XML indicating the next prompt or the final result.
