New Post: Server String is null or empty

@JamesTow,

I use both MySQL and SQL Server, but never the migration tool SSIS... But I have written lots of code against these databases that connect directly on 3306, and it isn't SSH. It's just plain TCP (and some UDP uses) with their clients, or a more universal DBI. In Visual Studio, I use SMO (Server Management Objects), and I can roll my own anything with that...

Check out here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522534%28v=sql.110%29.aspx to get started with connecting, and note that SSIS seems to come with a few tools (on the command line, and probably libraries) that connect for you. Odds are, that is what you are trying to do in the code above with the library you mentioned.

SSH is applied on a server/host as a dedicated daemon (or 'service' in windows parlance) that sits on (default) port 22. It is not associated with any programs, but rather creates a 'tunnel' between the calling client and the connected server that makes the data transferred harder to decode, but also more importantly facilitates the use of security options like certificates.

In addition, SSH is what we call in UNIX/Linux circles a 'terminal program', or 'shell'. This means that once that connection I talked about is made, the software on both sides sees that connection as just a command line waiting for you or a program of your choosing to type something in and hit Enter. SSH is also a protocol, meaning it is just a language that 2 computers can talk. What you and the target host say to each other is translated into SSH-speak as it travels between you, but to each other it looks like a DOS/Bash shell, in that it is in cleartext.

Bottom Line: If you are not using SSH, then you don't need SSH, and SSH will not work for you.

Some info to help you understand more:

SQL Server Integration Services on Wikipedia
SSIS Top Level Page on TechNet
[Connecting to SSIS on TechNet](Connect to a Remote Integration Services Server (SSIS Service))

The previous links will get you connected to SSIS, the following links will get you up to speed on not just when to use SSH (and eventually you will), but also how.

Secure Shell on Wikipedia
SSH2 on Wikipedia
Tunneling with SSH on Wikipedia
SSH2 RFCs and nitty-gritty details on SnailBook
Secure Shell Protocol on Cisco
...and finally...
The excellent An Overview of the Secure Shell (SSH) PDF by VanDyke Software

All the best!
