SFTP Authentication using an SSH Certificate

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to SFTP authenticate using an SSH certificate. Rust

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

let sb_ssh_cert = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
if sb_ssh_cert.load_file("qa_data/sshCert/user_ecdsa_key-cert.pub", "utf-8").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load user_ecdsa_key-cert.pub");
    return;
}

let sb_priv_key = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
if sb_priv_key.load_file("qa_data/sshKeys/user_ecdsa_key", "utf-8").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load user_ecdsa_key");
    return;
}

let key = chilkat::SshKey::new();
// Provide the password if the user_ecdsa_key is stored in an encrypted format.
key.set_password("secret");
if key.from_open_ssh_private_key(&sb_priv_key.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default()).is_err() {
    println!("{}", key.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Indicate that the SSH certificate is to be used for authentication.
// The UseSshCertificate method was added in Chilkat v11.0.0
let _ = key.use_ssh_certificate(&sb_ssh_cert.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());
