##Java ssh wrapper

This library is a wrapper around the JSch library

As JSch library is quite painful to use directly, we have developed here a wrapping API above JSch to ease the integration and usage of ssh connexions in a java environment.

Today the following features are supported:

• check if we can connect to a remote SSH host
• execute a command on a remote SSH host
• copy a file to a remote SSH host

Build it

The library is not published on maven central yet.

To build it, just run: ./gradlew fatJar

Use it from the command line

You can play directly with the built jar on the command line (wich is executable), so for instance to get the help:

$ java -jar build/libs/java-ssh-wrapper.jar 
You provided 0 arguments

USAGE: COMMAND user password remotehost [options]
        where COMMAND is 'SCP' (copy from local to remote host) or 'EXEC' (execute a command on remote host) or 'CONNECTED' (test connection to remote host)
        and [options] is 'sourceFileName destFileName' in SCP mode
        or  [options] is "ssh command to launch on remote host" in EXEC mode

To test if you can connect to a host:

$ java -jar build/libs/java-ssh-wrapper.jar CONNECTED guest password localhost
OK :)

To launch a command on a host:

$ java -jar build/libs/java-ssh-wrapper.jar EXEC guest password localhost uname
Linux
Command executed successfully
OK :)

To copy a file to a host:

$ java -jar build/libs/java-ssh-wrapper.jar SCP guest password localhost README.MD DEST_README.MD

Use it as a library in your application

Just grab the jar file and add it to your project. Have a look at the Launcher class (command line launcher) to understand how to use it, I know it is a bit rude, but it is a good simple example.
