jcabi-ssh – Java SSH Client

Java SSH Client

Read this introduction article: Simple Java SSH Client.

It is as simple as this:

import com.jcabi.ssh.Shell;
import com.jcabi.ssh.SSH;
Shell shell = new SSH("example.com", 22, "username", "key...");
String stdout = new Shell.Plain(shell).exec("echo 'Hello, world!'");

There is also a convenient SSHD class, a runner of ssh daemon, for unit testing:

try (SSHD sshd = new SSHD()) {
  String uptime = new Shell.Plain(
    SSH(sshd.host(), sshd.login(), sshd.port(), sshd.key())
 ).exec("uptime");
}

The only dependency you need is (you can also download jcabi-ssh-1.9.0.jar and add it to the classpath):

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId>
  <artifactId>jcabi-ssh</artifactId>
  <version>1.9.0</version>
</dependency>
