Forcing algorithm used for encryption

[RDTelecom]

Hello,

I have seen that when the SSH client and server connection is established a list of supported encryption algorithms (ciphers) on both sides is available.
By default it looks that the first algorithm supported on both sides is selected for encryption, is there a way to force it in some way ?
I have blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, aes128-cbc, 3des-cbc supported and would like to compare performances.

Thanks for your replies.

You can choose any cipher algorithm for using by setting the TScSSHClient.CiphersClient and CiphersServer properties, like this:

Code: Select all

ScSSHClient1.CiphersClient.AsString := 'blowfish-cbc';
ScSSHClient1.CiphersServer.AsString := 'blowfish-cbc';

The blowfish-cbc encryption algorithm is the fastest :)
