Connecting thru a proxy server

The Sftp component allows for connections through HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy servers. To use a proxy server invoke the Sftp#setProxyHost method passing a proxy hostname and port as arguments.

Example

// proxy information

String proxyHost = "10.0.0.1";

int proxyPort = 2121;

// create Sftp instance and set proxy information

Sftp sftp = new Sftp(params);

sftp.setProxyHost(proxyHost,proxyPort);

sftp.setProxyType("SOCKS5");

sftp.connect();

If your proxy requires authentication you can set this using the Sftp#setProxyAuthentication method.

Example

String proxyUsername = "jsmith";

String proxyPassword = "secret";

ftps.setProxyAuthentication(proxyUsername,proxyPassword);
