Using Java ssh client class

nano2 · 08-18-2008, 03:50 AM

Hi ,
I want to use the ssh client in java application , however I can 't find the class to include this .

I have found the telnet class import org.apache.commons.net.telnet.TelnetClient;

Can anyone tell where i can locate the ssh client class ?

Thanks in advance ,

Try googling for "java ssh" and be amazed.

Yeah have done that but there is a cost involved when downloading them , I don't want to buy the application to do this .

I Have been also looking to see if there is an ssh client in the apache package and there seems to be none ...

Maybe you could suggest ...

Thanks

Apache Commons should have everything you need - you just need to put the pieces together yourself.

Please look at this tutorial: it starts with a Java HTTP client (using Apache Commons), then extends it to HTTPS:

There's no SSH support in commons net that's why you can find the class to import, it's as simple as that. If you need SSH support you need to download a SSH library. There are many free SSH libraries which can be easily found on google.

Surely your distro has libj2ssh-java?

Hi Jay73,
I have checked my distro and I don't have libj2ssh-java. I am using java 1.5.

Where would it be located , can i add this to my distro ?

Thanks

It's included in Ubuntu and Debian. I checked its documentation and it lists this link:

Maybe for the hard way approach, you can read the format specification of the ssh.
Then you create your program by follow that format, but this is the difficult way but nonetheless it gives you a lot of information about networking.
