Executing commands over SSH channel and Terminal Emulation Control
It helps you integrate Secure Shell (SSH) security functionality into your Internet applications easily. The Ultimate SSH Shell Telnet Component includes SSH-enabled client communications components supporting strong encryption and advanced cryptography. It offers the following features:
- Remotely execute commands on an SSH server
- Open a shell connection to an SSH server
- Terminal Control for Windows applications
- Virtual Terminal class
- Terminal Control with highly-customizable appearance
- Capture screen, get and update cell
- Authenticate securely with NTLM, and Kerberos methods
- Fully tested with many SSH servers such as Bitvise, OpenSSH, GlobalScape, etc.
Security and Reliability
The Ultimate SSH component provides industry standard security using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. Our components support strong, commercial grade encryption, and we do not rely on any third-party toolkits which have licensing restrictions or are encumbered by patents. By setting a single property or option, the component automatically handles all of the complex protocol negotiation and encryption for you.
Supports HTTP Connect, SOCKS4, SOCKS4A & SOCKS5 Proxy Servers
Ultimate SSH provides full support for Proxy Servers such as HTTP CONNECT, SOCKS4, SOCKS4A, and SOCKS5. By simply setting a few properties, you are able to execute commands on SSH and Telnet servers through the desired proxy server, providing your application with the greatest flexibility and highest level of security available.
Support for IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), the next-generation protocol designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), will gradually replace the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4.
With Ultimate SSH Component, users have an integrated service assurance solution that will provide them with SSH, Telnet, and Proxy capabilities in mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This helps organizations with the adoption of and the transition to IPv6 by making the management of such networks seamless.
.NET Technology
By using 100% managed code written in C#, the Ultimate SSH component takes advantage of the numerous built-in features of the .NET Framework to enhance performance, moreover, the component is CLS compliant, and it does not use any unsafe blocks for minimal permission requirements. In addition, the component is highly compatible with Microsoft ClickOnce.
Supports many .NET Platforms
Ultimate SSH Component for .NET supports the following platforms:
- Windows Forms
- Web Forms
- Web Services
- WPF
In addition, it is also possible to use the component in PowerShell - Microsoft’s new command console and scripting language.
Ultimate SSH is fully compatible with Visual Studio 2005 to 2013 (.NET 2.0 to .NET 4.5.1). As a benefit, you are always up-to-date with Microsoft's Technologies when using our products.
Supports event-driven (Asynchronous) and blocking (Synchronous) Design
Most applications written with the SSH component will be synchronous. Synchronous method gives you the ease-of-use, but it can only returns the control back to the caller after it has finished, meaning that it blocks the execution of the caller for a period of time. Using synchronous method is recommended when you only need to execute one SSH operation at a time.
You might decide that your design requires an asynchronous operation when it is needed to manage email messages simultaneously. Asynchronous methods provide a great deal of power. Asynchronous method is executed on a thread separate from the calling thread. Such operation is useful when an SSH or Telnet operation is time consuming and other codes need to execute without waiting for the initial operation to complete. In addition, the user interface will be most responsive when asynchronous methods are used.
Flexibility
The SSH component has been designed with a great degree of flexibility and can be used with a wide variety of programming languages and different types of development environments. Available as a managed .NET class, it is fully supported by languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, J#, Managed C++, Borland C# Builder, and Delphi.
Fully Documented
As important as functionality, features and stability are, comprehensive documentation is equally as important to the application developer. This is why the ComponentPro SSH for .NET product includes a Developer's Guide and a complete Technical Reference which documents every property, method and event supported by the component. A printable version of the documentation is included with the product, as well as context-sensitive online help which can be accessed directly from within the development environment.
Lots of SSH client samples in C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET
In addition to the fully documented Developer's Guide and a complete Technical Reference, Ultimate SSH component also includes a number of samples with full source code which help you become familiar with the features of the component and provide code which you can re-use in your own applications. The setup package contains two complete SSH and Telnet client applications, one Remote Exec sample, and three other Console client samples. To help you write web applications using our component quickly, we also included many web sample projects.
