Gets and sets the security protocol used to establish the secure
connection with the server.
Syntax
object.SecureProtocol [= protocol ]
Remarks
The SecureProtocol property can be used to specify the
security protocol to be used when establishing a secure connection
with a server. By default, the control will attempt to use either
SSH-1 or SSH-2 to establish the connection, with the appropriate
protocol automatically selected based on the capabilities of the
server. It is recommended that you only change this property value if
you fully understand the implications of doing so. Assigning a value
to this property will override the default and force the control to
attempt to use only the protocol specified. One or more of the
following values may be used:
| Value |
Constant |
Description |
| 0 |
stProtocolNone |
No security protocol has been selected. Because all
connections to an SSH server are secure, this value indicates
that a connection has not been established. |
| 16 |
stProtocolSSH1 |
The Secure Shell 1.0 protocol has been selected. This
version of the protocol has been deprecated and is no longer
widely used. It is not recommended that this version of the
protocol be used to establish a connection. |
| 32 |
stProtocolSSH2 |
The Secure Shell 2.0 protocol has been selected. This is
the most commonly used version of the protocol. It is
recommended that this version of the protocol be used unless
the server explicitly requires the client to use an earlier
version. |
Multiple security protocols may be specified by combining them
using a bitwise Or operator. After a connection has been established,
reading this property will identify the protocol that was selected to
establish the connection. Attempting to set this property after a
connection has been established will result in an exception being
thrown. This property should only be set before calling the
Connect method.
