SSH TimeOut not Happening

[Aswin Gopal]

I am trying to check SFTP connection to remote server using enchanter jar. Mine is not a multi-threaded application. PFB sample code...

.....
SSH ssh = new DefaultSS();
ssh.setTimeOut(10000);
ssh.connect("myserver","myusername","mypassword");
ssh.sendLine("cd /u");
ssh.sendLine("sftp -B batch.file [e-mail]");
ssh.getLine();
.....

note - the batch.file contains only 1 statement. Please find below.

But the above program is getting is stuck at times when the server is not responding. It goes into infinite hung state.

Is there some alternative ways to set timeout ?

I have added Code Tags, which you should always use, and they make it look a lot better
Don't know about socket timeouts, but that question is too difficult for “beginning”, so I shall move the discussion.
