OpenChannel Method

Opens a new SSHChannel .

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function OpenChannel(ByVal ConnectionId As Integer, ByVal ChannelType As String) As String

[C#]
public string OpenChannel(int connectionId, string channelType);

Remarks

The SSH 2.0 specification allows for multiple channels to be opened over a single TCP/IP connection. The Channels property represents the channels that are currently open. A new SSHChannel can be opened with OpenChannel.

ChannelType represents the type of SSH channel to be opened. The most common type of channel is "session".

If the call to OpenChannel succeeds, an SSHChannel will be created and added to the Channels collection.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (OpenChannelAsync) for use in the WinRT environment.
