You are most welcome!

Just a note: The reason your code (and my initial code) did not work, was that although the handler was coded, there was really nothing telling it *when* to perform the code. By telling it *what* we want it to listen for:

this.CanHandleSessionChangeEvent = true;

And then overriding the windows service event handler:

protected override void OnSessionChange(SessionChangeDescription changeDescription){...}

We end up with something that works!

I've edited the solution to include tested code. Hope it helps!

Hi!

Diagnosing the problem is a little tricky based on the information available. Have you tried debugging the connection sequence and seeing at which stage it fails? Please keep in mind that the article reference was really just meant to be a *starting point*. There are several other SSH components out there, which you can try as well... most of them are commercial though (you have to pay for them).

Can you tell me:
What Unix you are connecting to?
What kind of machine will you be connecting from?
Do you have root (Administrator) access on the unix machine?
How do you plan to do the actual reading: polling, streaming...?
How "real time" is the application?

Regards!
