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.

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

set socket [new_CkSocket]

set success [CkSocket_SshOpenTunnel $socket "ssh.example.com" 22]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkSocket_lastErrorText $socket]
    delete_CkSocket $socket
    exit
}

#  Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
#  The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
set sshPassword "mySshPassword"
set success [CkSocket_SshAuthenticatePw $socket "sshUser" $sshPassword]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkSocket_lastErrorText $socket]
    delete_CkSocket $socket
    exit
}

puts "SSH authentication succeeded."
