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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
'  The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim sshPassword As String
sshPassword = "mySshPassword"
success = socket.SshAuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "SSH authentication succeeded."
