Package plink with jar

Question

I have written a code (Java using eclipse Juno) which uses plink (C: installation) to connect to a remote server.

String command = "C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY\\plink -load session-name -l login -pw password";
Process p = runtime.exec (command);

Is there anyway I can safely export it (putty/plink) along with the jar file. This is so as there would not be any need of separate installation. I would also have to alter the code to call plink locally.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use jar utility that comes with Java SDK to package putty executables to your application jar file.

Upon installation you can extract your exe file to a folder. And later call it from your code .

Answer 2

I am using the below code in plink.

"C:\\Users\\YXS8699\\Desktop\\Desktop\\ansi165\\x86\\ansicon.exe \\"C:\\Progra~1\\PuTTY\\plink.exe\\" ";

It was working fine.

Now when we run the plink command to connect WYSE50 terminal. I am facing the below issue

Command Prompt: "C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY\\plink.exe" CPHPQPU1.homedepot.com -l dbxd -pw 123summer -t WYSE50

Now it is not working fine. Please give me some inputs.
