// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loSsh = createobject("CkSsh")

// To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
llSuccess = loSsh.Connect("example.com",22)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    release loSsh
    return
endif

// Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
lcAuthMethods = loSsh.GetAuthMethods()
if (loSsh.LastMethodSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    release loSsh
    return
endif

// For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
? "Authentication methods suported by this serve: " + lcAuthMethods

// IMPORTANT:
// Getting the authentication methods will intentionally disconnect from the server.
// We'll need to re-connect, etc. to continue..

// For example..
llSuccess = loSsh.Connect("example.com",22)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    release loSsh
    return
endif

llSuccess = loSsh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSsh.LastErrorText
    release loSsh
    return
endif

? "SSH Authentication successful."

// ...

loSsh.Disconnect()


release loSsh
