SSH.NET Useful Examples

For a few days I was digging how to show the log in real time when running a linux command with SSH.NET. It doesn't look easy but thankfully there is simple way to do that. Here is an example:

client.Connect();

var cmd = client.CreateCommand("ls -l");   //  very long list 
cmd.CommandTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
var asynch = cmd.BeginExecute();

var reader = new StreamReader(cmd.OutputStream);

while (!asynch.IsCompleted)
{
    var result = reader.ReadToEnd();
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result))
        continue;
    Console.Write(result);
}
cmd.EndExecute(asynch);

client.Disconnect();
