Java API for connecting to SFTP server

I am working on FTP uploading and downloding using JAVA.
But the user names and passwords are not secured when I use this
FTP process the user name and passwords are dispaling in normal text.

I read that SFTP will transmit the data in secured manner and it will
encrypt the passwords also.

Now I need an API which supports SFTP or any java program.
I will be glad if it(API) is open.

Thanks in advance

If you mean sftp (ftp based on ssh) then check out jsch from
jcraft. If you mean ftps (ftp over ssl) then there is a commercial
api from jscape (www.jscape.com), but I do not know of any free
ones.

Also, you can not use either of these with a server that has only
an ftp server. The machine you wish to communicate with, must also
have ssh installed for sftp or a SecureFTP server installed for ftps.

j-ftp claims to be able to handle SFTP.

I'll have to check that one out. Thanks.

My preference is VFS, then you can abstract where it is and no longer care.

Hi,

I have found an API j2ssh which is free and I am working on that but I am getting a lot of errors. I think it will work for SFTP.

I am working on that.If anyone of u gone through it please guide me.

Thanks in advance.
