New Post: Use it with Xamarin.iOS

Hi,

I'm trying to use the SSHNet library (Renci SSH) from codeplex on my Xamarin iOS app. The SSH auth and the tunneling is working fine on the simulator, but I can't make it work on the real devices.

Did someone used this library with Xamarin.iOS?

I already added the "Personal VPN" entlitement property (with I don't really know if its truly necessary). The device log says the shh auth works, but when I try to connect http://127.0.0.1:port/rest_off_the_url , I get a TimeOut.

Here is my code

SshClient p_sshClient;
ForwardedPortLocal p_forwardedPortLocal;
p_sshClient = new SshClient(VPN_ADDRESS, user, password);
p_sshClient.Connect();

p_forwardedPortLocal = new ForwardedPortLocal(LOCAL_HOST, localPort, connectionURL, port);
p_sshClient.AddForwardedPort(p_forwardedPortLocal);
p_forwardedPortLocal.Start();

This works fine apparently. I can even see the server logs success messages.

But then, this get a TimeOutException

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create (localhost_url);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse ();

Thanks!
