I've raised https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-815 and attached a PR to it. There may be room for improvement on the sftp client api to make things a bit easier. Right now, a user would have to do:
SftpClient client = SftpClientFactory.instance().createSftpClient(session) whereas before the split, it would have been: SftpClient client = session.createSftpClient() Obviously, there's no backward compatible solution but it could be made even easier maybe: SftpClient client = SftpClient.createSftpClient(session) Also, the default SftpClientFatory could be loaded through the ServiceLoader, that could make things easily pluggable at minimal cost.
