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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set socket = CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
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.
sshPassword = "mySshPassword"
success = socket.SshAuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("SSH authentication succeeded.")

outFile.Close
