retriving file from unix server

Hi ,

I need to develop an application which searches some contents say a particular in the file placed at a location in unix server and displays it on my local machine(in windows).

I need to know how we can connect to the unix server.

Right now I use filezila to connect to the server and download the file.

Inputs for file zila is host name is like sftp://.... , username, pwd and port: 22

Please guide me how to do the same through java code. I work on diff app. dont know java much.

It will be great if I can get any sample code which can guide me further.

Thanks,
Sujeet

If SFTP (which is FTP over an SSH connection) is the only option to access the server, then you'll need a library that implements it. Read this to get started: http://nileshbansal.blogspot.com/2007/07/accessing-files-over-sftp-in-java.html
