Authenticate an SSH Tunnel with a Password

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

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

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local socket = chilkat.Socket.new()

local success = socket:ssh_open_tunnel("ssh.example.com", 22)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
-- The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
local sshPassword = "mySshPassword"
success = socket:ssh_authenticate_pw("sshUser", sshPassword)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("SSH authentication succeeded.")
