Capture output of ssh connection to SonicWall in vb.net -


i'm surprised isn't out there already, guess needs trailblazer. ok, part of pci compliance firewall rules need reviewed periodically. thought doing right, apparently not. i've been put on correct path , trying automation possible. end, trying connect sonicwall firewall using .net program (specifically vb.net) (that trying write) , execute following command "show nat-policies xml" , capture xml output (i service groups, address objects , address groups), shred in database.

initially, tried ssh.net giving me error connection being closed. little research says ssh.net has issues trying connect sonicwall firewall , should try using tamir.sharpssh. tried that, first attempt, when executed connect statement, waited didn't move past statement. tried second example , complained host keys.

i know sonicwall firewall configured ssh because can connect using putty , information (in convoluted way, can it). here code call hangs:

imports tamir.sharpssh imports tamir.sharpssh.jsch imports system.io imports system.threading imports org.mentalis.security public class form1 private sub form1_load(sender object, e eventargs) handles mybase.load try dim cssh new sshshell("192.168.000.000", "username", "user password") cssh.connect()      'freezes here using sstream sshstream = cssh.getstream()             dim wrtr new streamwriter(sstream)             dim rdr new streamreader(sstream)             wrtr.autoflush = true             writestream("show nat-policies xml", wrtr, sstream)             readstream(rdr)         end using     catch ex exception         textbox1.text = ex.message             textbox1.appendtext(vbcrlf + "finished")     end try end sub private sub writestream(byval cmd string, byval wrtr streamwriter, byval sstrm sshstream)     wrtr.writeline(cmd)     while sstrm.length = 0         thread.sleep(500)     end while end sub private sub readstream(byval sreader streamreader)     dim line string = sreader.readline()     while not string.isnullorempty(line)         textbox1.appendtext(vbcrlf + line)         line = sreader.readline()     end while end sub end class 

any ideas?
