Sftp with Java / Processing

5 Comments Published June 4th, 2007 in java, library, p5, processing.org, programming, sftp

I know, I know, you’ve been waiting your whole life for this.

Download beta SFTP Processing library (source included in zip).

Download example Processing sketch.

The library uses JSch (Java Secure Channel).

import sftp.*;

Sftp sftp;

void setup() {
  size(200,200);
  background(0);
  // Create the SFTP object
  // if 3rd arg = false, you must set the password in your code
  // if 3rd arg = true, you will be prompted to enter your password
  sftp = new Sftp("www.hostname.com","login", true);
  // sftp.setPassword("XXXXXX");
  sftp.start(); // start the thread
  noLoop();
}

void mousePressed() {
  // At any point you can execute an SFTP command
  // Not all commands are currently implemented
  // but you do have "ls" and "get"
  // Gosh, I should implement "put", sorry!
  sftp.executeCommand("ls");
  sftp.executeCommand("get file.txt");
}

    Excellent … but now I think Amazon S3 support must be next. :) I’ll let you know how I fare. Everything’s documented for, like, real programmers with jobs and such, instead of … erm … me.

    Hey, this is great! But what about that “put” function?
    Does it exist? Can I upload or does it only have download?

    Regards

    No sorry, I never got around to it. If you look at the source though, you can see where to add it. I will try to take care of it soon though!

    It’s too bad. =)
    I can’t seem to find a better alternative to use SFTP and yours seemed really nice. Couldn’t get it to work though due to the “libraries” folder miss location (can’t find where to put your files).
