SSH Tunnel Authenticate with Password and Private Key

See more SSH Tunnel Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat SshTunnel.AuthenticatePwPk method, which authenticates with a server that requires both a password and a private key. The arguments are the username, the password, and an SshKey private key.

Note: The private-key path is relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the path to your own key file.

Background: Most servers require either a password or a public key, not both — but some high-security deployments mandate two-factor SSH. This method satisfies that policy in one call, combining something you know (the password) with something you have (the key). The password should come from a secure source rather than a literal.
