wodSSH ActiveX component V2.6.9
An Internet Protocol Encryption Control/Component for ActiveX
wodSSH is a client component that provides support for communication with remote console-type services. Most commonly, it will be used for Telnet based servers (running on UNIX OS), but allows you also to communicate encrypted (and secured, of course) with SSH1 and SSH2 (secure-shell) servers, as well as any other non-encrypted server (such as SMTP or POP3). For ones that don't know - the SSH transport layer is a secure low level transport protocol.

It provides strong encryption, cryptographic host authentication, and integrity protection. If you are looking for VB Expect (like on UNIX systems) behaviour - this is the product for you.
Features include
support for both SSH1 and SSH2 protocols
support for Telnet protocol, with negotiation to telnet options
windowless, you can use wodSSH in unattended mode
internal compression - from 0 (no compression) to 9 (highest compression), user defined level
proxy support
fast notifications - you can use callback methods, not slow events
blocking support (for scripting environments) and asynchronous (state driven) model
Prompt event - fired when command prompt is found in received data
WaitFor and Execute methods - approach similar to UNIX expect command
Password and PrivateKey authentication
Port forwarding through one channel
Don't use insecure Telnet - use SSH instead
Telnet protocol is widely used for character-based communication. Due to its insecurity, most sysadmins use SSH protocols instead - it's transparent for end-user, but provides secure layer on which data is transmitted. So - your passwords are not exposed on the internet.
There is also option to secure your data using SSL protocol instead (check out wodTelnetDLX!), but sometimes SSL brings too much of a hassle - you need certificates, buy them, must sign them, etc.. SSH doesn't need any of that.
How to use it?
Using wodSSH is easily - just put it on your form, set Protocol type and issue Connect method - and just wait for things to happen.
When in secure mode - you can connect to SSH servers, which are standard today in remote console communication. wodSSH is able to automatically determine if remote server is based on SSH1 or SSH2 protocol version, and communicate accordingly. It will provide you with information about remote server Fingerprint, so you can always get authenticated information about remote server.
ASP, VB, VC, VBS - one fits all....
wodSSH can be used as scripting client. Easily, you can set it up to connect to server, execute one or more commands, wait for response, and just disconnect. And all of it fully automated. It also supports blocking and non-blocking operations, thus it's suitable for many environments, such as ASP. Since version 1.0.2.2 that's also UNIX expect alike feature added to wodSSH - use WaitFor and Execute commands to easily execute several commands in a row, waiting each one to finish and provide you with some results.
When you're unsure when to send actual command, wodSSH may help also. Using it's unique Prompt property, it can fire event for you whenever remote server sent command prompt to enter new command. All you have to do is send new command once this event is fired.
Authentication - select between login/password and login/publickey.. Or use both..
Since version 1.0.1.1 wodSSH also supports public key authentication (only for SSH2 protocol!). Dealing with keys is easy - we have included Keys object that will allow you to generate, load, save.... keys and pass them to wodSSH. This way you can easily use your private key to authenticate with the server. Keys object will also generate public keys data that should be pasted directly on the server's authorization files - in format you need.
Proxy support
wodSSH support SOCKS4/5 proxies (since version 2.0.0.0), as well tunnel through WEB proxy server (using CONNECT command). You can use your favorite proxy server to reach out internet.
Licensing
Upon purchase, you have right to distribute wodSSH.DLL, wodSSH.OCX and wodKeys.DLL binaries in your applications free of charge. To license your existing versions (not DEMO version!), in DLL version use LicenseKey property with the key you receive from us. In OCX version you don't need to setup your key, it will be handled by your programming environment.
