CryptoInformation event


Fires before wodSFTP establishes an encrypted connection with the server.

Syntax

  • Basic
Private Sub object_CryptoInformation(Protocol, RemoteName, SCcipher, CScipher, Keys, Accept)
The CryptoInformation(object,Protocol,RemoteName,SCcipher,CScipher,Keys,Accept) syntax has these parts:
objectA wodSFTP object.
ProtocolA String value. Specifies the selected protocol (SSH2 is the only possibility in the SFTP protocol).
RemoteNameA String value. Holds the remote identification string.
SCcipherA String value. Holds the selected server to client encryption algorithm.
CScipherA String value. Holds the selected client to server encryption algorithm.
KeysA String value. Holds the selected key exchange algorithm.
AcceptA Boolean value. When set to False, wodSFTP aborts the connection.

Remarks

The CryptoInformation event is fired after the first crypto negotiation has taken place, but before any sensitive information is sent to the server (such as username or password). This event provides you with information about the selected encryption protocols and the remote server type.

At this point you can decide whether to continue with the connection, or to abort it (by setting the Accept parameter to False), in which case wodSFTP will drop the connection.
