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.

#include <C_CkSocketW.h>

    if (success == FALSE) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",CkSocketW_lastErrorText(socket));
        CkSocketW_Dispose(socket);
        return;
    }

    //  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 = L"mySshPassword";
    success = CkSocketW_SshAuthenticatePw(socket,L"sshUser",sshPassword);
