SFTP Set Allowed Algorithms

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to explicitly set the algorithms allowed in the SSH connection protocol for SFTP.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.99 or greater.

;  Specify the allowed key-exchange, host-key, cipher (i.e. encryption), and mac (i.e. hash) algorithms allowed, in the order of preference.
;  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;  Note: You typically should NOT explicitly set allowed algorithms.
;  By default, Chilkat orders algorithms according to best practices, and pays attention to vulnerabilities such as the "Terrapin Attack".
;  Hard-coding algorthims can make your application brittle and prone to breaking over a long period of time,
;  if a server (at some point in the future) changes its allowed algorithms, or if you connect to a different server,
;  such that the client (Chilkat) and server cannot find a set of mutually agreed-upon algorithms.
