RemoteIdentification property


Holds the remote identification string.

Type

A String value. Identification string provided by the server.

Syntax

  • Basic
object.RemoteIdentification
The RemoteIdentification(object) syntax has these parts:
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type wodSFTP.

Remarks

Once an initial connection is established with the server, the SSH protocol specifies that both parties should exchange version information. This information includes server/client type and the version supported. Typically, this would be something like:

      SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2

which means that the server supports SSH protocol versions SSH1 and SSH2 and that the server type is OpenSSH, running revision 2.9p2. Other values can apply here too. The first part of the string is the important part:

      SSH-1.99

1.99 means that the server supports both SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. If only SSH1 is supported, then the server would usually reply with SSH-1.5 and if just SSH2 is supported it would usually reply with SSH-2.0.

wodSFTP only works with SSH2 servers. This is due to the SFTP protocol specification, not our implementation!
