Route Socket Connections through an SSH Object

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.UseSsh, which configures a socket to route subsequent Connect calls through an already connected and authenticated Ssh object using SSH port forwarding.

    success := false

    ssh := chilkat.NewSsh()

    //  Connect and authenticate a standalone SSH object.
    success = ssh.Connect("ssh.example.com",22)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    //  The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    sshPassword := "mySshPassword"
    success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

    //  Route subsequent Connect calls through the already connected and authenticated SSH object.  The
    //  destination is reached by SSH port forwarding rather than by a direct TCP connection.
    success = socket.UseSsh(ssh)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    //  Connect to the destination through the SSH tunnel.
    bTls := false
    maxWaitMs := 5000
    success = socket.Connect("db.internal",5432,bTls,maxWaitMs)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Connected to the destination through the SSH tunnel.")
