Download wodSSH ActiveX Component 2026

Quick Intro

WodSSH ActiveX Component delivers a Windows- focused SSH toolkit, embeddable into older applications and automation processes. Small, simple and designed to run inside Visual Basic, VBScript pages, old-style ASP, Delphi or natively in Win32 hosts, it enables you to add protected sessions without having to re-code big sections of your application.

Overview

The component is delivered as a COM/ActiveX component plus DLL variant, so you get both an OCX control and a DLL that work “slightly” differently depending on how you want to run it. This dual format means that you will be able to embed it on a form or invoke it from server-side script.

How it operates

Imagine a small SSH client library packaged for Windows component models and calling back through. Just call methods to open sessions, authenticate and transfer data. Supports all common SSH transports, can be used anywhere that an ActiveX or COM object could be manipulated. The control exposes objects and helper functions for managing your keys and session flow meaning that automation can sometimes be very scriptable.

Key Features

• ActiveX control and COM DLL so you can host it in forms or server scripts.
• support for the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol that used to make secure remote connections possible and thus secure way of file transfer.
• A built-in key management object used to generate, load, and save keys.
• Providing sample projects and sample code for languages such as VB, Delphi to speed up integration.
• Server- and client-side packaging options (including server-related packaging that enables baking server-side functions into the packaging).

Benefits

A practical approach to support cryptosessions in legacy toolchains (without having to migrate your entire platform). Reducing the amount of glue code you need to write and, by re-using “COM/ActiveX” code you will avoid the rewrite.

Integration can be speedy. Register the component, drag it onto a form or instantiate the DLL, call a handful of methods. Some things need installation with administrator rights but ordinary use is at user level.

It reveals critical objects so you can script key lifecycle operations in the same environment running the automation logic avoiding the need to piece together multiple utilities.

Common Use Cases

• Integrating rem command execution over SSH into an existing windows client application.
• Integrating or automating file transfers derived from old ASP or timed scripts.
• Implementation of a small size SFTP or SSH layer inside a Delphi or Visual Basic management console.
• Forserver-side computationusing the DLL version,when a Visual control of ActiveX is not suitable.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve got legacy toolchains that still do the job, this component can give them a new lease of life. It is not claiming to be the latest in application architecture. But it does make it work while providing secure sessions and key handling within COM- fearing environments. Which makes it a useful choice for maintenance projects and small migrations.

Expect quick plug-in if you are comfortable with ‘Classic’ Windows development. And expect to watch runtime and hosting security as you do for every ActiveX or COM-hosted code running in mixed environments.
