How to force a SFTP.Connect to abort.

Question

In one thread I have this:
_client = New Sftp
_client.Connect(ipaddress, ipport) ' timeout on connect is 6 seconds

In another thread
_client.Dispose()

I can see that Dispose() will finish while Connect is still timing out.

Is there a way to force Connect to Abort immediately and be done by the time Dispose returns?

If no way to abort THEN is there something I can wait on to make sure Connect has returned?

Would ConnectAsync help? and if so how?

Thanks
Tom

Answer 1

This behavior is caused by the fact, that the Dispose method is not called on the currently connecting socket.

We classified this as a bug. It will be fixed in next public release.

Ok ..  is there something I can do in the short term to force the socket to close and then call dispose?

Unfortunately not. You cannot do anything to make this working using current version.

But I can send you a beta version. If you are registered user, please send your order details to support@rebex.net and I will share a link to full beta version.
