Password Property  
 

Gets and sets the password for the current user.

Syntax

object.Password [= password ]

Remarks

The Password property specifies the password used to authenticate the user. The UserName and Password properties are used together to provide credentials to the server that will authenticate the client session. If these properties not set when the connection is established, the session will be anonymous. A server may allow a client to download files without authentication, but it is usually required when uploading files.

If you are connecting to a server using the SFTP (SSH) protocol and the server requires public/private key authentication, your application should set the PrivateKey property to the path of the user's private key. In this case, the Password property can be used to specify the password required to access the private key. If the private key was created without a password, this property should be set to an empty string.
