SSH.NET
=======
SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH-2) library for .NET, optimized for parallelism.

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/ih77qu6tap3o92gu/branch/develop?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/ih77qu6tap3o92gu/branch/develop)

## 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 (and higher)
* .NET Standard 1.3
* Silverlight 4
* Silverlight 5
* Windows Phone 7.1
* Windows Phone 8.0
* Universal Windows Platform 10

## Usage

### Multi-factor authentication

Establish a SFTP connection using both password and public-key authentication:

```cs
var connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo("sftp.foo.com",
                                        "guest",
                                        new PasswordAuthenticationMethod("guest", "pwd"),
                                        new PrivateKeyAuthenticationMethod("rsa.key"));
using (var client = new SftpClient(connectionInfo))
{
    client.Connect();
}

```

### Verify host identify

Establish a SSH connection using user name and password, and reject the connection if the fingerprint of the server does not match the expected fingerprint:

```cs
byte[] expectedFingerPrint = new byte[] {
                                            0x66, 0x31, 0xaf, 0x00, 0x54, 0xb9, 0x87, 0x31,
                                            0xff, 0x58, 0x1c, 0x31, 0xb1, 0xa2, 0x4c, 0x6b
                                        };

using (var client = new SshClient("sftp.foo.com", "guest", "pwd"))
{
    client.HostKeyReceived += (sender, e) =>
        {
            if (expectedFingerPrint.Length == e.FingerPrint.Length)
            {
                for (var i = 0; i < expectedFingerPrint.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (expectedFingerPrint[i] != e.FingerPrint[i])
                    {
                        e.CanTrust = false;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                e.CanTrust = false;
            }
        };
    client.Connect();
}
```
