Transfer file from SFTP server to the local system using Java

Question

I am using the JSch library.

I need three methods:

• void delete() --- to delete the file with the given name
• void copy() --- to copy the file with the given name into the local system
• list copyndelete() --- to copy the file and to delete the file in the remote system ... and also return the name of the file deleted into the list.

How could I do this?

Answer 1

You could try using Apache FTPSClient.

Answer 2

Try using Jcraft . Its an Open source Project

Answer 3

The JSch library contains the ChannelSftp class. This class has (between others) also methods to

• copy remote files to local ones (all the get methods)
• delete remote files (the rm method, or rmdir to delete empty directories)
• list remote files (ls)

All your requirements can be fulfilled from combinations of these methods.
