How to write SFTP client using Apache MINA library

Question

I tried finding Java code for SFTP client using Apache MINA library but couldn't find it.

Could someone show me how to write a simple password authentication based SFTP client using Apache MINA library.

Answer 1

Based on the examples in the README.md in the root of apache-sshd-2.2.0-src package:

SshClient client = SshClient.setupDefaultClient();
// override any default configuration...
client.setSomeConfiguration(...);
client.setOtherConfiguration(...);
client.start();

try (ClientSession session = client.connect(user, host, port).verify(timeout).getSession()) {
    session.addPasswordIdentity(password);
    session.auth.verify(timeout);

    // User-specific factory
    try (SftpClient sftp = DefaultSftpClientFactory.INSTANCE.createSftpClient(session)) {
        // use sftp here
    }
}
