copy files from one solaris 9 to another using java

Question

How to copy file(s) from one solaris 9 machine to another solaris 9 machine using only java?

We have ssh access to both machines. The java program will run on one of those two machines.

Update: rsync is not really an option. can't install it easily (UNIX team is, hum, hard to deal with)

Answer 1

use the ssh library jsch -- http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/. This program is used by ant to do ssh transfers. very good -- been there a long time(> 5 years), decent documentation.

Answer 2

You could use Runtime.exec() to launch rsync.

Answer 3

Or you could use FTP. Or you could mount some shared storage.

Answer 4

if you're headed the way of FTP, here's 2 libraries
