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

Dim ssh As New Chilkat.Ssh

// To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
Dim success As Boolean
success = ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
Dim authMethods As String
authMethods = ssh.GetAuthMethods()
If (ssh.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
System.DebugLog("Authentication methods suported by this serve: " + authMethods)

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

// For example..
Dim success As Boolean
success = ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("SSH Authentication successful.")

// ...

ssh.Disconnect
