Android Question SFTP Connection Error using JSch

[George_G]

Hello everyone,


I'm trying to connect to a server via SFTP using the JSch library.
I can connect successfully using FileZilla, but I'm unable to connect through my application.


From the logs, I got this error:
com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Session.connect: java.io.IOException: End of IO Stream Read


Any idea what might be causing this?
Is there, maybe, an example? (SFTP, JSch library) ?

Any idea?

I am not sure what I can tell you. I wrote a library that uses SFTP, and I had forgotten that I used JSch. I hit a couple of snags but got some help from the forum. Here is my setting up code . . .

Public Sub Initialize(appDir As String, module As Object, eventHandler As String)
    hostPath = hostFolder & appDir & "/"        ' Full path at host
    info.caller = module
    info.handler = eventHandler
    info.appFolder = appDir
    hostFiles.Initialize
    jobs.Initialize
    sftp.Initialize("sftp", "username", "password", "sftp.provider.com", 22)
    makeList
End Sub

' This routine automatically authenticates the RSA fingerprint check
Private Sub SFTP_PromptYesNo (Message As String)
    sftp.SetPromptResult(True)
End Sub

After that the coding is straightforward upload/download tasks. I have never seen your error message so cannot give you any pointers there, but I can confirm that the JSch library does work. Let me know if I can be of more help.
