SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH) library for .NET, optimized for parallelism.
##Introduction This project was inspired by Sharp.SSH library which was ported from java and it seems like was not supported for quite some time. This library is a complete rewrite, without any third party dependencies, using parallelism to achieve the best performance possible.
##Features
- Execution of SSH command using both synchronous and asynchronous methods
- Return command execution exit status and other information
- Provide SFTP functionality for both synchronous and asynchronous operations
- Provides SCP functionality
- Provide status report for upload and download sftp operations to allow accurate progress bar implementation
- Remote, dynamic and local port forwarding
- Shell/Terminal implementation
- Specify key file pass phrase
- Use multiple key files to authenticate
- Supports 3des-cbc, aes128-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, arcfour and twofish encryptions
- Supports publickey, password and keyboard-interactive authentication methods
- Supports RSA and DSA private key
- Supports DES-EDE3-CBC, DES-EDE3-CFB, DES-CBC, AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC and AES-256-CBC algorithms for private key encryption
- Supports two-factor or higher authentication
- Supports SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTP Proxy
##Key Exchange Method
SSH.NET supports the following key exchange methods:
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
##Message Authentication Code
SSH.NET supports the following MAC algorithms:
- hmac-md5
- hmac-md5-96
- hmac-sha1
- hmac-sha1-96
- hmac-sha2-256
- hmac-sha2-256-96
- hmac-sha2-512
- hmac-sha2-512-96
- hmac-ripemd160
- hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com
##Framework Support SSH.NET supports the following target frameworks:
- .NET Framework 3.5
- .NET Framework 4.0
- Silverlight 4
- Silverlight 5
- Windows Phone 7.1
- Windows Phone 8.0
- Universal Windows Platform 10
In our codebase, we use the following conditional compilation symbols to identity features supported by a given target framework:
