The command sudo su - is not a command which is executed once and then leaves the current session in a "root" state, but it simply spawns a new shell in root mode - when you exit this shell, you are back in your original non-root shell. So we would have to execute the server part of scp or sftp inside this shell, and speak to it in the same channel as the shell. Maybe using a tunneled sftp (with the -S and/or -s options) could help here. Or simply '-s sudo sftp-server' or similar? (Doesn't work this simple, it seems.) I don't even have an idea how to do this with normal ssh, even less with JSch, sorry. But maybe this helps that you (or someone else) finds some ideas. Paul
