Send EOF on an SSH Channel

See more SSH Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ssh.ChannelSendEof method, which sends an SSH EOF message on a channel. The only argument is the channel number. EOF closes only the client-to-server direction; the application may still receive stdout, stderr, exit status, EOF, and CLOSE from the server.
