SFTP EncryptionAlgorithm AES256

Question

Hello there

I am writing a program to connect to a sftp server and upload the files. I want to enforce the sftp connection to use only AES256 algorithm.

I wrote the following code

With SFTP.Settings.sshParameters
.EncryptionAlgorithms = sshEncryptionAlgorithms.AES
End With

But how do I set it to use only AES256 Cipher

Your help is much appreciated

Thanks

Hello,

Use SetEncryptionAlgorithms method instead of EncryptionAlgorithms property to further limit SSH encryption ciphers. To only allow ciphers based on 256-bit AES, use the following code:

SFTP.Settings.SshParameters.SetEncryptionAlgorithms("aes256-gcm@openssh.com", "aes256-ctr", "aes256-cbc")
