ReadOnly Property RemoteIdentification As String

Remarks

Once initial connection is established with the server, SSH protocol specifies that both parties should exchange version information. This information includes server/client type, and version supported. Typically, this would be something like
 
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2
 

which means that server does support SSH protocol versions SSH1 and SSH2, and server type if OpenSSH_2.9p2. Other values can apply here, too. Important thing is first part of the string,
 
SSH-1.99
 

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