SSH connection with Java

Question

How can I connect to an SSH server in Java? I don't need/want a shell. I just want to connect to the SSH server and get the content of, say, file.txt. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Java doesn't support that natively, but you can use a library like JSch to do it

Answer 2

Take a look at Jaramiko.

Answer 3

You must use a third-party library - JSch is one of them. Google with "Java ssh" and you will get plenty of other options.

Answer 4

You could check JSSH, which is a Java SSH library.

Answer 5

http://www.ganymed.ethz.ch/ssh2/ implements a ssh2 client in Java. I use it for port forwarding.
