Step-by-Step Tutorial: Implementing wodSSH in Your Application
Implementing wodSSH into your code allows your app to securely talk to remote servers. It works well as a scripting client to run quick commands and gather text answers automatically. What is wodSSH?
The wodSSH tool is a small tool for software creators. It helps apps talk to remote computer screens safely. It handles both secure SSH1 and SSH2 setups. It also handles regular, unsecured Telnet systems. You can buy it as an ActiveX tool, a COM object, or a wodSSH.NET component for C# and VB.NET apps. Prerequisites Before starting, make sure you have: A remote server with SSH turned on. A computer running Windows. The installer package from WeOnlyDo! Software. Step 1: Install and Register the Tool
First, run the tool setup file on your work computer. The installer puts the needed files into your Windows system folder.
If your installer does not handle registration automatically, register the component yourself using the Windows Command Prompt: regsvr32 wodSSH.dll Use code with caution.
For 64-bit systems, register the 64-bit version of the file instead: regsvr32 wodSSH64.dll Use code with caution. Step 2: Add the Component to Your Project
Open your preferred development environment to link the library to your app. For Classic ASP or Scripting
Create the object directly in your code without adding references:
Dim SSH Set SSH = Server.CreateObject(“WeOnlyDo.wodSSHCom.1”) Use code with caution. For .NET Applications (C#) Open your project in Visual Studio. Right-click on References. Select Add Reference. Browse to find WeOnlyDo.Client.SSH and click OK. Step 3: Configure Core Properties Set the properties required for connecting to your server: HostName: The web address or IP of your remote server. Login: Your account username. Password: Your secret login password.
Protocol: Set this to SSHAuto to let the tool find the best security version. SSH Essentials: Working with SSH Servers, Clients, and Keys
