+<hr><a name="env"></a><h2>When I start program XYZ with putty (or openssh, ..., whatever) then everything

+works. However, if I use "Session.execCommand", then XYZ behaves differently or does not work at all!</h2>

+

+<h3>Short answer:</h3>

+

+<p>

+The most often source of problems when executing a command with <tt>Session.execCommand()</tt>

+are missing/wrong set environment variables on the remote machine. Make sure that the minimum needed

+environment for XYZ is the same, independentely on how the shell is being invoked.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+Example quickfix for bash users:

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<ol>

+<li>Define all your settings in the file <tt><b>~/.bashrc</b></tt></li>

+<li>Make sure that the file <tt><b>~/.bash_profile</b></tt> only contains the line <tt><b>source

+~/.bashrc</b></tt>.</li>

+<li>Before executing <tt>Session.execCommand()</tt>, do NOT aquire any type of pseudo terminal in the

+session. Be prepared to consume stdout and stderr data.</li>

+</ol>

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<b>Note:</b> If you really want to mimic the behavior of putty, then don't use Session.execCommand(), 

+instead aquire a pty (pseudo terminal) and then start a shell (use <tt>Session.requestPTY()</tt> and

+<tt>Session.startShell()</tt>). You then have to communicate with the shell process at the other end

+through stdin and stdout. However, you also have to implement terminal logic (e.g., escape sequence

+handling (unless you use a "dumb" pty), "expect-send" logic (output parsing, shell prompt detection), etc.).

+</p>

+

+<h3>Long answer:</h3>

+

+<p>

+If you login by using putty, then putty will normally request a "xterm" pty and your assigned shell

+(e.g., bash) will be started (a so called "interactive login shell"). In contrast, if you use

+<tt>Session.execCommand()</tt> to start a command then (unless you ask for it) no pty will be aquired

+and the command will be given to the shell as an argument (with the shell's "-c" option).

+</p>

+

+<p>

+The way a shell is being invoked has an effect on the set of initialization files which will be read be the shell.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+To demonstrate the difference, try the following (from the command line, e.g., with an OpenSSH client):

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<ol>

+<li>Login interactively and print the environment with the "env" command:<br>&nbsp;<br>

+<tt><b>[user@host ~] ssh 127.0.0.1<br>

+[user@host ~] env</b></tt><br>&nbsp;<br>

+</li>

+<li>Let the ssh server execute the "env" command (equivalent to using <tt>Session.executeCommand()</tt>):<br>&nbsp;<br>

+<tt><b>[user@host ~] ssh 127.0.0.1 "env"</b></tt>

+</li>

+</ol>

+</p>

+

+<p>

+If you compare the two outputs, then you will (unless you have adjusted your shell's settings)

+observe different environments.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<b>If you are interested in the details, then please read the <tt>INVOCATION</tt> section in man page

+for the bash shell. You may notice that the definitions of "interactive" and "non-interactive" 

+(and combinations with "login") are little bit tricky.</b>

+

+<hr><a name="blocking"></a><h2>My program sometimes hangs when I only read output from stdout!

+Or: can you explain me the story about the shared stdout/stderr window in the SSH-2 protocol?

+Or: what is this "StreamGobbler" thing all about?</h2>

+

+<p>

+In the SSH-2 low level protocol, each channel (e.g., session) has a receive window. When the remote

+SSH daemon has filled up our receive window, it must wait until we have consumed the input and are ready to accept new data.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+Unfortunately, the SSH-2 protocol defines a shared window for stderr and stdout. As a consequence,

+if, for example, the remote process produces a lot of stderr data and you never consume it, then after

+some time the local receive window will be full and the sender is blocked. If you then try to read()

+from stdout, your call will be blocked: there is no stdout data (locally) available and the SSH daemon

+cannot send you any, since the receive window is full (you would have to read some stderr data first

+to "free" up space in the receive window).

+</p>

+

+<p>

+Fortunately, Ganymed SSH-2 uses a 30KB window - the above described scenario should be very rare.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+Many other SSH-2 client implementations just blindly consume any remotely produced data into a buffer

+which gets automatically extended - however, this can lead to another problem: in the extreme case

+the remote side can overflow you with data (e.g., leading to out of memory errors).

+</p>

+

+<p>

+What can you do about this?

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<ol>

+<li><b>Bad: Do nothing</b> - just work with stderr and stdout Inputstreams and hope that the 30KB

+window is enough for your application.</li>

+

+<li><b>Better, recommended for most users:</b> use two worker threads that consume remote stdout

+and stderr in parallel. Since you probably are not in the mood to program such a thing, you can use

+the StreamGobbler class supplied with Ganymed SSH-2. The Streamgobbler is a special InputStream that

+uses an internal worker thread to read and buffer internally all data produced by another InputStream.

+It is very simple to use:<br> <tt><b><pre>InputStream stdout = new StreamGobbler(mysession.getStdout());

+

+InputStream stderr = new StreamGobbler(mysession.getStderr());</pre></b></tt>

+You then can access stdout and stderr in any order, in the background the StreamGobblers will

+automatically consume all data from the remote side and store in an internal buffer.</li>

+

+<li><b>Advanced:</b> you are paranoid and don't like programs that automatically extend buffers

+without asking you. You then have to implement a state machine. The condition wait facility offered by

+<tt>Session.waitForCondition()</tt> is exactly what you need: you can use it to wait until either stdout

+or stderr data has arrived and can be consumed with the two InputStreams. You can either use the return value

+of <tt>Session.waitForCondition()</tt> or check with <tt>InputStream.available()</tt>

+(for stdout and stderr) which InputStream has data available (i.e., a <tt>read()</tt> call will not block).

+Be careful when wrapping the InputStreams, also do not concurrently call read() on the InputStreams while calling

+<tt>Session.waitForCondition()</tt> (unless you know what you are doing).<br>Please have a look a the

+<tt>SingleThreadStdoutStderr.java</tt> example.</li>

+

+<li><b>The lazy way:</b> you don't mind if stdout and stderr data is being mixed into the same

+stream. Just allocate a "dumb" pty and the server will hopefully not send you any data on the stderr

+stream anymore. <b>Note:</b> by allocating a pty, the shell used to execute the command will probably 

+behave differently in terms of initialization (see also <a href="#env">this question</a>).</li>

+</ol>

+</p>

+

+

+<hr><a name="buffered"></a><h2>Why are the session's Input- and OutputStreams not buffered?</h2>

+

+<p>

+If you need it, then this library offers quite a raw type of access to the SSH-2 protocol stack.

+Of course, many people don't need that kind of low level access. If you need buffered streams,

+then you should the do the same thing as you would probably do with the streams of a TCP socket:

+wrap them with instances of BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream. In case you use

+StreamGobblers for the InputStreams, then you don't need any additional wrappers, since the

+StreamGobblers implement buffering already.

+</p>

+<p>

+This code snippet will probably work well for most people:

+</p>

+<p>

+<tt>

+<pre>

+InputStream stdout = new StreamGobbler(mysession.getStdout());

+InputStream stderr = new StreamGobbler(mysession.getStderr());

+OutputStream stdin = new BufferedOutputStream(mysession.getStdin(), 8192);

+</pre>

+</tt>

+</p>

+

+[<a href="#oben">TOP</a>]

+

+<hr><a name="sessioncommands"></a><h2>Why can't I execute several commands in one single session?</h2>

+<p>

+If you use <tt>Session.execCommand()</tt>, then you indeed can only execute only one command per session.

+This is not a restriction of the library, but rather an enforcement by the underlying SSH-2 protocol

+(a <tt>Session</tt> object models the underlying SSH-2 session).

+</p>

+<p>

+There are several solutions:

+</p>

+<p>

+<ul>

+<li><b>Simple: Execute several commands in one batch</b>, e.g., something like <tt>Session.execCommand("echo

+Hello && echo again")</tt>.</li>

+<li><b>Simple: The intended way: simply open a new session for each command</b> - once you have opened a

+connection, you can ask for as many sessions as you want, they are only a "virtual" construct.</li>

+<li><b>Advanced: Don't use <tt>Session.execCommand()</tt>, but rather aquire a shell with

+<tt>Session.startShell()</tt></b>. See also <a href="#env">this question</a>.</li>

+</ul>

+</p>

+

+

+[<a href="#oben">TOP</a>]

+

+<hr><a name="sessionlimit"></a><h2>I cannot open more than 10 concurrent sessions (or SCP clients).</h2>

+<p>

+You are probably using OpenSSH. By looking at their source code you will find out that there

+is a hard-coded constant called MAX_SESSIONS in the session.c file which is set to "10" by default.

+This is a per connection limit. Unfortunately, it is not a run-time tunable parameter.

+However, this limit has no effect on the number of concurrent port forwardings. Please note: this information

+is based on the OpenSSH 4.3 release.

+</p>

+<p>

+Possible solutions:

+<ul>

+<li>(a) Recompile your SSH daemon</li>

+<li>(b) Try to live with this limit and keep the number of concurrent sessions <= 10.</li>

+<li>(c) Distribute your sessions over multiple concurrent SSH connections.</li>

+</ul>

+</p>

+<p>

+Just for completeness: starting from release 210, the thrown exception may look as follows:<br>

+<tt>

+<pre>

+java.io.IOException: Could not open channel (The server refused to open the channel (SSH_OPEN_ADMINISTRATIVELY_PROHIBITED, 'open failed'))

+</pre>

+</tt>

+</p>

+

+[<a href="#oben">TOP</a>]

+

+<hr><a name="passwordauth"></a><h2>Password authentication fails, I get "Authentication method password

+not supported by the server at this stage".</h2>

+

+<p>

+Many default SSH server installations are configured to refuse the authentication type "password".

+Often, they only accept "publickey" and "keyboard-interactive". You have different options:

+</p>

+

+<p>

+<ul>

+<li><b>Enable password authentication.</b> E.g., in case of OpenSSH on Fedora, edit

+<code>/etc/sshd/sshd_config</code> and change the value of "PasswordAuthentication" to "yes",

+then send a HUP signal to the daemon so that it re-reads its configuration.</li>

+<li><b>Switch to public-key authentication.</b> Probably the best choice.</li>

+<li><b>Try to use keyboard-interactive authentication.</b> If you have a GUI that interacts with a user,

+then this is doable (check out the SwingShell.java example).</li>

+</ul>

+</p>

+

+<p>

+In general it is a good idea to call either <code>Connection.getRemainingAuthMethods()</code>

+or <code>Connection.isAuthMethodAvailable()</code> before using a certain authentication method.

+</p>

+

+<p>

+Please note that most servers let you in after one successful authentication step. However, in rare cases

+you may encounter servers that need several steps. I.e., if one of the <code>Connection.authenticateWithXXX()</code>

+methods returns <code>false</code> and <code>Connection.isAuthenticationPartialSuccess()</code> returns

+<code>true</code>, then further authentication is needed. For each step, to find out which authentication methods

+may proceed, you can use either the <code>Connection.getRemainingAuthMethods()</code> 

+or the <code>Connection.isAuthMethodAvailable()</code> method. Again, please have a look into the

+SwingShell.java example.

+</p>

+

+

+<hr><a name="puttygen"></a><h2>Why does public key authentication fail with my putty key?</h2>

+<p>

+When using putty private keys (e.g., .ppk files) with public key authentication, you get a

+"Publickey authentication failed" exception. The reason is that the library currently is not able to

+directly handle private keys in the proprietary format used by putty. However, you can use the

+"puttygen" tool (from the putty website) to convert your key to the desired format: load your key,

+then go to the conversions menu and select "Save OpenSSH key" (which saves the key in openssl PEM format,

+e.g., call it "private.pem").

+</p>

+

+[<a href="#oben">TOP</a>]

+

+<hr><a name="catmethod"></a><h2>I am sending data to a remote file using the "cat" method, but not all data is being written.</h2>

+<p>

+Please read carefully the answer to the following <a href="#pumptoremote">question</a>.

+</p>

+

+[<a href="#oben">TOP</a>]

+

+

+<hr><a name="pumptoremote"></a><h2>I want to pump data into a remote file, but the amount of data to be sent

+is not known at the time the transfer starts.</h2>

+<p>

+The SCP protocol communicates the amount of data to be sent at the start of the transfer,

+so SCP remains out of consideration. Possible other solutions:

+<ul>

+<li>Use the SFTP client. Recommended.</li>

+<li>Execute "cat > filename.txt" on the remote side and pump the data into stdin. This method is NOT recommended (and won't work on Windows...).</li>

+</ul>

+</p>

+<p>

+Be careful if you use the "cat" approach, as it may happen that not all your data will be

+written. If you close the stdin stream and immediatelly close the session (or the whole connection) then

+some SSH servers do not send the pending data to the process being executed ("cat" in this case).

+You have to wait until "cat" has received the EOF and terminates before closing the session. However,

+waiting for the termination may not always work, since SSH servers sometimes "forget" to send the exit code

+of the remote process. The following code MAY work:

+</p>

+<p>

+<tt>

+<pre>

+Session sess = conn.openSession();

+sess.execCommand("cat > test.txt");

+OutputStream stdin = sess.getStdin();

+

+... out.write(...) ... out.write(...) ...

+

+/* The following flush() is only needed if you wrap the  */

+/* stdin stream (e.g., with a BufferedOutputStream).     */

+out.flush();

+

+/* Now let's send EOF */

+out.close();

+

+/* Let's wait until cat has finished                     */

+sess.waitForCondition(ChannelCondition.EXIT_STATUS, 2000);

+/* Better: put the above statement into a while loop!    */

+/* In ANY CASE: read the Javadocs for waitForCondition() */

+

+/* Show exit status, if available (otherwise "null")     */

+System.out.println("ExitCode: " + sess.getExitStatus());

+/* Now its hopefully safe to close the session           */

+sess.close();

+</pre>

+</tt>

+</p>

+<p>

+(Just a thought for another solution: execute <code>cat > test.txt && echo "FINISHED"</code>

+and wait until you get "FINISHED" on stdout... - try it on your own risk =)

+Release Notes:

+==============

+

+build???, 2011-06-??

+

+- Requires Java 5 or later.

+

+- Provide POM for Maven 3 build.

+

+- Performance gains with request parallelism in requests for read and write write operations in SFTPv3Client.

+

+- Bugfix for infinite timeout on socket connect.

+

+- SFTPInputStream and SFTPOutputStream to read or write from a SFTPv3FileHandle compatible with standard I/O operations in Java. 

+

+- SCPClient returning SCPInputStream and SCPOutputStream for get and put operations respectively compatible with stanard I/O operations in Java.

+

+- Option to attach a packet listener to SFTPv3Client for logging purposes.

+

+- Fixed a bug in KnownHosts.getPreferredServerHostkeyAlgorithmOrder (it always returned null, which is a valid return value but wrong).

+

+- Added accessor to query session state and isConnected() in SFTPv3Client returning a boolean

+

+- Adjusted channel window size

+

+- Custom PEMDecryptException to catch PEM decoding failure.

+

+- Option to pass custom user agent string for identification string.

+

+- Continue silently when invalid key is found in known hosts file.

+

+- Add support for file append mode in SFTPv3Client.

+

+- Option to pass charset for commands executed on the remote machine.

+

+build251beta1, 2010-08-23:

+

+- Due to the slightly changed semantics of Thread.interrupt() and Object.wait() in JDK 6,

+  the code had to be adapted in several places. Please do not use Ganymed SSH-2 build250

+  on JDK 6, as the Kex and Streamgobbler code may occasionally consume all CPU resources.

+  

+  Background: the JDK 6 javadocs for Object.wait say: "If the current thread is interrupted

+  by any thread before or while it is waiting, then an InterruptedException is thrown."

+  Unfortunately the Java 1.5 documentation does not say "before", only "while it is waiting".

+  

+  Thanks to Elias Horness.

+  

+build250, 2010-03-15:

+

+- Ganymed SSH-2 for Java is back.

+  The software can be downloaded from http://www.cleondris.ch/ssh2

+

+- Fixed the use of default platform character encodings.

+

+- Fixes for buggy servers.

+

+- Wait for the reply to the ServiceRequest packet before sending the next request.

+

+- Re-assign the interrupted flag after a InterruptedException.

+

+build211beta4, 2006-12-05: (never officially released)

+

+- Added Connection.sendIgnorePacket(...) methods which allow to send SSH_MSG_IGNORE packets.

+  Thanks to Andrei Tchijov.

+

+- Added support for the "none" authentication method.

+

+- Revised the SHA-1 code. Highly optimized. Speed should be more than doubled.

+

+- Changed references to the correct RFCs (instead of the drafts) in the javadocs (where possible).

+

+- Fixed the write() method in the SFTP code. Unsatisfiable preconditions stopped the method

+  from writing any bytes. As stated in the documentation, the SFTP code is still experimental.

+  Thanks to Andreas Pueschel.

+

+- Added a new createLocalPortForwarder(InetSocketAddress addr, ...) method which allows to

+  specify the local address and port to bind to. Thanks to Andrei Tchijov.

+

+- Slightly updated the FAQ.

+

+build210, 2006-10-06:

+

+- Added HTTP proxy support. See Connection.setProxyData() and the HTTPProxyData class.

+  Thanks to Jean-Pierre Schmit for providing example code.

+  

+- Added basic support for SFTP (v3).

+  

+- Beta users: removed support for automatic split of huge read transfers in SFTP,

+  as it was not possible to return EOF in a clean way. The write method still splits huge

+  transfers (in blocks of 32768 bytes). Thanks to Zhong Li.

+  

+- SCP enhancement. It is now possible to specify an empty target directory name when sending

+  files. This is analogous to using "scp file user@host:" (thanks to Bernd Eggink).

+

+- SCP enhancement. It is now possible to receive a remote file and pipe it directly into

+  an OutputStream. Thanks to Bernd Eggink.

+

+- SCP enhancement. It is now possible to specify a different remote filename when sending

+  a file. Thanks to Thomas Tatzel.

+

+- Added more verbose error messages in case a channel open operation fails (e.g., resource

+  shortage on the server). Related to this, added a comment to the FAQ regarding the limitation

+  on the number of concurrent sessions per connection in OpenSSH. Thanks to Ron Warshawsky.

+

+- Added a feature (ConnectionMonitor) to get notified when a connection breaks.

+  Thanks to Daniel Ritz (Alcatel).

+

+- It is now possible to override the used SecureRandom instance (Connection.setSecureRandom()).

+

+- Added getters for the server's hostname and port to the Connection class.

+

+- Added examples for HTTP proxy usage as well as local/remote port forwarding.

+

+- Added support for SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD in the DHGexParameters class (there

+  is a new, additional constructor). Please check the Javadoc for DHGexParameters.

+

+- Clarified in the javadoc the issue of re-using Connection objects. Changed the exception

+  message in case connect() is invoked on an already connected connection.

+

+- Added an entry to the FAQ regarding pumping data into remote files.

+  Thanks to Daniel Schwager.

+

+- Changed JDialog.show() to JDialog.setVisible(true) in the SwingShell example.

+  The show() method is deprecated in Java 5.0. Thanks to Carlo Dapor.

+

+- Fixed the behavior of the local port forwarder code. Trying to listen on an already bound port

+  will not fail silently anymore. Also, the accept thread will continue accepting connections

+  even if there was a problem with the establishment of the underlying ssh-forwarding of a

+  previous incoming connection (e.g., one tried to establish a forwarding to a remote port that

+  is not in state open (yet)). Thanks to Claudio Nieder (Inodes, Switzerland) and

+  Daniel Ritz (Alcatel) for pointing this out.

+  Note: the interface for managing port forwardings needs to be further improved.

+

+- Tried to implement a workaround for the Sun JVM bug 5092063. Changed InetAddress.getByAddress(byte[])

+  in the "TransportManager.parseIPv4Address" method (which already is a workaround for JDK's that

+  use the resolver for dotted IP addresses, independently from the 5092063 bug) to

+  InetAddress.getByAddress(String, byte[]). Thanks to Alain Philipin.

+

+- Fixed a bug in KnownHosts.addHostkeyToFile. Hostnames were converted to lowercase which is

+  not good in case of hashed hostnames (it leads to a different BASE64 encoding and therefore

+  hashes won't match). Thanks to [unknown].

+

+- Fixed a typo in the SCP client (tag for modification times is 'T' and not 'P').

+  Thanks to Andreas Sahlbach.

+

+- Stupid performance enhancement in the Logger, it did unnecessary calls to System.currentTimeMillis().

+

+- The LICENCE.txt file is now also included in the pre-compiled jar. Of course, redistributions in

+  binary form must *still* include the contents of LICENCE.txt in the documentation and/or other

+  materials provided with the distribution.

+  

+- Small cleanups in the TransportManager code.

+

+build209, 2006-02-14:

+

+- A major release, many new features. Thanks to all who supported me with feedback!

+

+- Added remote port forwarding support.

+  Please consult the docs for Connection.requestRemotePortForwarding().

+

+- Added X11 forwarding support. Please consult Session.requestX11Forwarding().

+  X11 support is based on joint work with Simon Hartl (simon.hartl (at) gmx.net). Thanks, Simon!

+

+- The SCPClient constructor is now public. The factory method is still there (in the Connection

+  class), however, it will probably be marked as deprecated and eventually be removed in the future.

+

+- Added startSubSystem() method to the Session class. Now it is possible to implement subsystems,

+  e.g., sftp, outside of the library.

+

+- For advanced users: there is now a much better condition wait interface in the Session class.

+  It is now also possible to wait for the arrival of "exit-status" and "exit-signal".

+  The Session.waitUntilDataAvailable() method still works, but is marked as deprecated.

+

+  Users that used the beta version, please be aware of the following change: calling the close()

+  method on a Session object will immediatelly raise the ChannelCondition.CLOSED/EOF conditions

+  on the underlying channel - even though the remote side may not have yet responded with a

+  SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE message (however, in the background the library still expects the server

+  to send the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE message). See below for an explanation.

+

+- The behavior of Session.close() has changed. If you *kill* a Session (i.e., call Session.close()

+  before EOF (or CLOSE) has been sent by the remote side), then immediatelly EOF will (locally)

+  be raised for both stdout and stderr. Further incoming data (for that particular Session) will

+  be ignored. However, remote data that arrived before we sent our SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE message

+  is still available (you can think of having appended the EOF marker to the end of the local

+  incoming stdout and stderr queues).

+  

+  The reason to do this is simply because some SSH servers do sometimes not reply to our

+  SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE message (event though they should). As a consequence, a local reader may

+  wait forever for the remote SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_EOF or SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE messages to arrive.

+  If you are interested, then you can try to reproduce the problem: Execute something like

+  "tail -f /dev/null" (which should do nothing forever) and then concurrently close the Session

+  (enable debug mode to see the SSH packets on the wire) to check how standard compliant your server

+  implementation is). Thanks to Cristiano Sadun.

+

+- The Session code does not anymore make use of the synchronized attribute for any of its methods.

+  This has the advantage that a call to Session.close() will never by blocked by concurrent

+  calls to the Session object. However, note that in the worst case the call may still block until

+  we can send our SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_CLOSE over the TCP connection.

+

+- The SCP client can now also be used to directly inject the contents of a given byte array

+  into a remote file (thanks to Dieter Baier for suggesting this).

+

+- Added support for specifying timeouts for connection establishment.

+  Thanks to Rob Hasselbaum and Ben XYZ.

+

+- Performance improvement: we use only a single SecureRandom object per connection

+  (until now there were multiple instances).

+

+- Fixed the Swingshell example program, it did not read in the known_hosts file on startup.

+  (thanks to Ashwani Kumar).

+

+- There was a typo in the CBCMode class (srcoff was ignored), however since we always pass

+  a zero offset the bug did not show up (thanks to Alex Pakhomov).

+

+- While implementing X11 support, found a strange X11 bug in OpenSSH (reported, openssh bug 1076).

+  12.10.2005: has been fixed for OpenSSH 4.3 by the OpenSSH crowd.

+

+- Changed the SingleThreadStdoutStderr example so that it uses the new condition wait interface.

+

+- Efficiently handle IPv4 addresses (when creating the underlying socket), there was a report

+  that some JDK's try to lookup dotted addresses with the resolver.

+  (thanks to Alexander Kitaev).

+

+- Added setTCPNoDelay() method to the Connection class.

+

+- Improved handling of unsupported global/channel requests received from the server.

+

+- The KEX code is now more robust. Also, the ServerHostKeyVerifier callback (if specified) will be called

+  before doing any DH calculation.

+

+- Major cleanup (i.e., rewrite) of the SSH channel code.

+

+- Cleanup up Session class, removed unnecessary IOExceptions.

+

+- Implemented 2^32-1 conformance for channel windows.

+

+- I got several times questions by e-mail from people that have problems with "putty" keys.

+  Added an entry to the FAQ.

+

+- Added an entry to the FAQ regarding how to handle servers with disabled password authentication

+  (thanks to Nicolas Raoul).

+

+- Upcoming: SFTP support (in the meantime almost a running gag).

+

+- Changed the name from "Ganymed SSH2" to "Ganymed SSH-2". Will this improve the G**gle ranking? =)

+

+- Latest javadoc is now also online.

+

+

+build208, 2005-08-24:

+

+- Added support for RSA private keys (PEM format), also revised code for RSA signature verification.

+

+- Extended support for encrypted PEM files.

+  Supported encryptions: DES-CBC, DES-EDE3-CBC, AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC and AES-256-CBC.

+  

+- Added rather complete support for known_hosts files (in KnownHosts.java).

+  The parser is able to understand the same pseudo-regex (*,?,!) syntax as OpenSSH clients.

+  The class includes support for hostkey comparison as well as functionality to add accepted keys

+  to a known_hosts file. One can also create OpenSSH compatible fingerprints (Hex and Bubblebabble).

+  Hashed hostname entries are understood and can also be generated.

+  

+- Restructured the examples section, added more examples. The examples should cover most issues.

+  There is also a _very_ basic terminal emulator, see SwingShell.java.

+

+- It is now possible to override the default server hostkey algorithm order (for the key exchange)

+  with the Connection.setServerHostKeyAlgorithms method. This makes sense in combination with

+  known_hosts support (e.g., if you already know the server's public ssh-dss key, then

+  you probably prefer the "ssh-dss" over the "ssh-rsa" algorithm).

+  The used server hostkey algorithm is now also reflected in ConnectionInfo.

+

+- The default server hostkey algorithm order is now "ssh-rsa", "ssh-dss".

+

+- Important: revised Input- and OutputStream code, everything is now unbuffered

+  (less memory consumption, more direct interface, see also StreamGobbler class and the FAQ).

+

+- Added StreamGobbler helper class.

+

+- Method verifyServerHostKey() in the ServerHostKeyVerifier may now throw exceptions

+  (an alternative to returning "false").

+

+- All background threads (the per-connection receive thread as well as all threads

+  used in forwarders and StreamGobblers) now use setDaemon(true) on startup.

+

+- Added "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1" support to the key exchange code.

+

+- Added chained IOExceptions where applicable (IOException initialization with initCause()).

+

+- Cleaned up packet building code, removed unnecessary server-side methods.

+

+- Cleaned up javadoc of SCPClient: replaced umask with mode.

+

+- Fixed a bug in the server identification string parser. This actually prevented a successful

+  key exchange with some ssh servers (the server's signature was rejected).

+  Thanks to Alex Molochnikov for the initial bug report and for helping in tracking down the issue.

+

+- Fixed a buffer re-allocation bug in the beta version of the StreamGobbler class

+  (thanks to Marc Lijour).

+

+- Fixed flawed UINT64 support (thanks to Bob Simons).

+

+- Fixed a bug in the build script of the beta builds (sftp beta directory was not completely removed)

+  (thanks to Richard Hash).

+

+- Use zero based padding for unencrypted traffic.

+

+- Changed again the client identification string (the one presented to the server).

+

+- Created a FAQ, available on the website and in the distribution.

+  

+- Revised javadoc comments. Also, the generated documentation is now located in the subdirectory

+  "javadoc" instead of "doc" (in the distribution).

+

+- Added README.txt to the distribution.

+

+

+build207, 2005-07-21:

+

+- Added "Keyboard Interactive" authentication method:

+  authenticateWithKeyboardInteractive() in Connection.java,

+  also have a look at InteractiveCallback.java.

+

+- Extended authentication interface in Connection.java (backwards compatible).

+  New functionality: getRemainingAuthMethods(), isAuthMethodAvailable(),

+  isAuthenticationComplete() and isAuthenticationPartialSuccess().

+

+- Using an authentication method not supported by the server leads now to an exception

+  (instead of returning "false"). Use isAuthMethodAvailable() if you want to check

+  for the availability of an authentication method.

+

+- Fixed a bug in SCPClient which sometimes lead to failed downloads.

+

+- Improved channel window handling.

+

+- Removed bogus (CVS) version string from Connection.java

+

+- Changed client identification string to "Ganymed_buildXXX".

+

+- Changed the jar file naming scheme (ganymed-ssh2-buildXXX.jar).

+

+- Started adding logging support for debugging purposes (currently only for development).

+

+- Cleanup of javadoc and comments at several places.

+

+- Reversed order of entries in HISTORY.TXT

+

+

+build206, 2005-07-04:

+

+- Fixed small resource issue with SCP (thanks to Michaël Giraud).

+

+- Added LocalStreamForwarder.

+

+- Added HISTORY.TXT

+

+

+build205, 2005-06-27:

+

+- Initial release.

+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java - build 251 beta1

+========================================

+

+http://www.cleondris.ch/opensource/ssh2/

+

+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java is a library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java

+(tested on J2SE 1.4.2, 5 and 6). It allows one to connect to SSH servers from within

+Java programs. It supports SSH sessions (remote command execution and shell access),

+local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding, X11 forwarding, SCP and SFTP.

+There are no dependencies on any JCE provider, as all crypto functionality is included.

+

+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java was originally developed for the Ganymed replication project

+and a couple of other projects at the IKS group at ETH Zurich (Switzerland).

+

+This distribution contains the source code, examples, javadoc and the FAQ.

+It also includes a pre-compiled jar version of the library which is ready to use.

+

+- Please read the included LICENCE.txt

+- Latest changes can be found in HISTORY.txt

+

+The latest version of the FAQ is available on the website.

+

+<body>

+Ganymed SSH2 for Java is a library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java.

+It allows one to connect to SSH servers from within Java programs. It supports SSH sessions

+(remote command execution and shell access),

+local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding, X11 forwarding, SCP and SFTP.

+There are no dependencies on any JCE provider, as all crypto functionality is included.

+<p>

+Ganymed SSH2 for Java was first developed for the Ganymed replication project and a

+couple of other projects at the IKS group at ETH Zurich. 

+<p>

+Website: <a href="http://www.cleondris.ch/opensource/ssh2/">http://www.cleondris.ch/opensource/ssh2/</a>.

+ * A <code>SFTPv3Client</code> represents a SFTP (protocol version 3)
+ * client connection tunnelled over a SSH-2 connection. This is a very simple
+ * (synchronous) implementation.
+ * <p/>
+ * Basically, most methods in this class map directly to one of
+ * the packet types described in draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-02.txt.
+ * <p/>
+ * Note: this is experimental code.
+ * <p/>
+ * Error handling: the methods of this class throw IOExceptions. However, unless
+ * there is catastrophic failure, exceptions of the type {@link SFTPv3Client} will
+ * be thrown (a subclass of IOException). Therefore, you can implement more verbose
+ * behavior by checking if a thrown exception if of this type. If yes, then you
+ * can cast the exception and access detailed information about the failure.
+ * <p/>
+ * Notes about file names, directory names and paths, copy-pasted
+ * from the specs:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>SFTP v3 represents file names as strings. File names are
+ * assumed to use the slash ('/') character as a directory separator.</li>
+ * <li>File names starting with a slash are "absolute", and are relative to
+ * the root of the file system.  Names starting with any other character
+ * are relative to the user's default directory (home directory).</li>
+ * <li>Servers SHOULD interpret a path name component ".." as referring to
+ * the parent directory, and "." as referring to the current directory.
+ * If the server implementation limits access to certain parts of the
+ * file system, it must be extra careful in parsing file names when
+ * enforcing such restrictions.  There have been numerous reported
+ * security bugs where a ".." in a path name has allowed access outside
+ * the intended area.</li>
+ * <li>An empty path name is valid, and it refers to the user's default
+ * directory (usually the user's home directory).</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p/>
+ * If you are still not tired then please go on and read the comment for
+ * {@link #setCharset(String)}.

+/**
+ * A <code>StreamGobbler</code> is an InputStream that uses an internal worker
+ * thread to constantly consume input from another InputStream. It uses a buffer
+ * to store the consumed data. The buffer size is automatically adjusted, if needed.
+ * <p/>
+ * This class is sometimes very convenient - if you wrap a session's STDOUT and STDERR
+ * InputStreams with instances of this class, then you don't have to bother about
+ * the shared window of STDOUT and STDERR in the low level SSH-2 protocol,
+ * since all arriving data will be immediatelly consumed by the worker threads.
+ * Also, as a side effect, the streams will be buffered (e.g., single byte
+ * read() operations are faster).
+ * <p/>
+ * Other SSH for Java libraries include this functionality by default in
+ * their STDOUT and STDERR InputStream implementations, however, please be aware
+ * that this approach has also a downside:
+ * <p/>
+ * If you do not call the StreamGobbler's <code>read()</code> method often enough
+ * and the peer is constantly sending huge amounts of data, then you will sooner or later
+ * encounter a low memory situation due to the aggregated data (well, it also depends on the Java heap size).
+ * Joe Average will like this class anyway - a paranoid programmer would never use such an approach.
+ * <p/>
+ * The term "StreamGobbler" was taken from an article called "When Runtime.exec() won't",
+ * see http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html.

+		  * Any association between locks and variables is purely conventional.

+		  * working memory, and unlocking any lock forces the writing out to main
+		  * memory of all variables that the thread has assigned. That a lock may be
+		  * associated with a particular object or a class is purely a convention.
+		  * (...)
+		  *
+		  * If a thread uses a particular shared variable only after locking a
+		  * particular lock and before the corresponding unlocking of that same lock,
+		  * then the thread will read the shared value of that variable from main
+		  * memory after the lock operation, if necessary, and will copy back to main
+		  * memory the value most recently assigned to that variable before the
+		  * unlock operation.
+		  *
+		  * This, in conjunction with the mutual exclusion rules for locks, suffices
+		  * to guarantee that values are correctly transmitted from one thread to
+		  * another through shared variables.

+ * The fastest uses 8Kbytes of static tables to precompute round calculations, 4
+ * 256 word tables for encryption and 4 for decryption.
+ * 
+ * The middle performance version uses only one 256 word table for each, for a
+ * total of 2Kbytes, adding 12 rotate operations per round to compute the values
+ * contained in the other tables from the contents of the first

+ * Yes, the "standard" is a big mess. On one side, the say that arbitary channel
+ * packets are allowed during kex exchange, on the other side we need to blindly
+ * ignore the next _packet_ if the KEX guess was wrong. Where do we know from that
+ * the next packet is not a channel data packet? Yes, we could check if it is in
+ * the KEX range. But the standard says nothing about this. The OpenSSH guys
+ * block local "normal" traffic during KEX. That's fine - however, they assume
+ * that the other side is doing the same. During re-key, if they receive traffic
+ * other than KEX, they become horribly irritated and kill the connection. Since
+ * we are very likely going to communicate with OpenSSH servers, we have to play
+ * the same game - even though we could do better.
+ * 
+ * btw: having stdout and stderr on the same channel, with a shared window, is
+ * also a VERY good idea... =(
