Simple C# code snippet opens an SSH session to a remote SSH host and executes a command

using System; using System.IO; using AxNetwork;

  // A license key is required to unlock this component after the trial period has expired.
  // Call 'Activate' with a valid license key as its first parameter. Second parameter determines whether to save the license key permanently 
  // to the registry (True, so you need to call Activate only once), or not to store the key permanently (False, so you need to call Activate
  // every time the component is created). For details, see manual, chapter "Product Activation".
