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 Boolean
success = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
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 = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("SSH authentication succeeded.")
