SSH, execute remote commands with Android
We need to download the JSCH libraries and JZLIB libraries that we can get directly on here:
We need to give INTERNET permission to our application in the manifest file.
In this example we execute the command ls in a remote machine using SSH and return the result. NOTE: you should improve the code for exception handling.
<!-- AndroidManifest.xml-->
<manifest ... >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>
// MyClass.java
public static String executeRemoteCommand(
String username,
String password,
String hostname,
int port) throws Exception {
JSch jsch = new JSch();
Session session = jsch.getSession(username, hostname, 22);
session.setPassword(password);
// Avoid asking for key confirmation
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
session.setConfig(prop);
session.connect();
// SSH Channel
ChannelExec channelssh = (ChannelExec) session.openChannel("exec");
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
channelssh.setOutputStream(baos);
// Execute command
channelssh.setCommand("ls");
channelssh.connect();
channelssh.disconnect();
return baos.toString();
}
