See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SshAuthenticatePw, which authenticates an SSH tunnel session using a login and password. Call SshOpenTunnel first.

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess

    //  Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
    //  The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    Move "mySshPassword" To sSshPassword
    Get ComSshAuthenticatePw Of hoSocket "sshUser" sSshPassword To iSuccess
