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.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
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.
sshPassword = "mySshPassword"
success = socket.SshAuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword)
if (success == false)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "SSH authentication succeeded." + "\n";
