SSHConnection Type

A currently connected client.

Remarks

This type describes the connection of a client which is currently connected to the class. You may use the different fields of this type to manage the connection.

Fields

connected
Bool

Used to disconnect individual connections and/or show their status.

The Connected is used to close connections.

Connected also shows the status of a particular connection (connected/disconnected).

How and when the connection is closed is controlled by the Linger property. Please refer to its description for more information.

connectionId
String

An id generated by the class to identify each connection. This id is unique to this connection.

localAddress
String

This property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is passing.

LocalAddress is important for multihomed hosts where it can be used to find which particular network interface an individual connection is going through.

remoteHost
String

The RemoteHost shows the IP address of the remote host through which the connection is coming.

The connection must be valid or an error will be fired.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

remotePort
Int32

The RemotePort shows the TCP port on the remote host through which the connection is coming.

The connection must be valid or an error will be fired.

timeout
Int32

A timeout for the class.

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an 'WOULDBLOCK' error if data can't be sent or received immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will automatically retry each operation that would otherwise result in a 'WOULDBLOCK' error for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 0 (asynchronous operation).
