>> SSH user@host -i key.pem
There are many ways to do this - here is the simplest
// Do it ONCE in your main method
SshClient client = SshClient.setupDefaultClient();
client.start();
// to connect and authenticate in the code
try (ClientSession session = client.connect(user, host)
.verify(...timeout...)
.getSession()) {
session.setKeyIdentityProvider(
new FileKeyPairProvider(...path to the PEM file...));
session.auth().verify(... timeout... );
// now you can open a shell channel and do interactive stuff,
// or SCP or SFTP or execute a singe command, or open
// a remote/local port forwarding - or all of the above...
}
// if you don't want to load the key file repeatedly you can do it once
// in the main method and then call (once)
client.setKeyIdentityProvider(...);
// instead of
session.setKeyIdentityProvider(...);
For the rest (advanced usage, setup, etc.), please read the documentation
at https://github.com/apache/mina-sshd/ and also check out the test code in
the project.
