Java SFTP Connection Files Transfer

In this article, I am going to show SFTP connection with java, transfer files from the local system to the remote system. Here we are going to using the JSch library to connect SFTP/STP server.

Pre-Requisites

• Java 1.8
• JSch.jar
• Eclipse IDE
• Maven

 

SftpChannel.java

We need to get SFTP server details as follows

• SFTP Host/IP
• SFTP Port
• SFTP Username
• SFTP Password

jsch = new JSch();
session = jsch.getSession(USER, HOST, Integer.parseInt(PORT));
session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
session.setPassword(PASSWORD);
session.connect();
channel = session.openChannel("sftp");
channel.connect();
sftpchannel = (ChannelSftp) channel;
