Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how I would troubleshoot the following exception:
The code in question runs properly on an Ubuntu development workstation, and I am able to connect via the sftp cilent on the deployment environment (Red Hat). However, executing the code on Red Hat results in the 'Connection refused' error. I can also telnet to the remote SFTP server on port 22 from the deployment box. com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at com.jcraft.jsch.Util.createSocket(Util.java:389) at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:215) at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:183) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPService.connect(SFTPService.java:107) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPService.init(SFTPService.java:46) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.init(SFTPUtility.java:44) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.run(SFTPUtility.java:50) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.execute(SFTPUtility.java:67) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.main(SFTPUtility.java:44) Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPService.init(SFTPService.java:50) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.init(SFTPUtility.java:44) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.run(SFTPUtility.java:50) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.execute(SFTPUtility.java:67) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPUtility.main(SFTPUtility.java:44) Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at com.jcraft.jsch.Util.createSocket(Util.java:389) at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:215) at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:183) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPService.connect(SFTPService.java:107) at com.xyz.sftp.SFTPService.init(SFTPService.java:46) ... 4 more As part of the init process, I load a known_hosts file and a private key from file: public void init() { try { loadKnownHosts(); byte[] privateKey = readPrivateKeyFromFile(_keyFileName); addIdentity(_userId, privateKey, _passPhrase.getBytes()); connect(_server, _userId); } catch(Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage(), e); } } protected void connect(String server, String userId) throws JSchException { _session = _jsch.getSession(userId, server, 22); _session.setDaemonThread(true); _session.setServerAliveInterval(5000); // keep alive messages _session.connect(); // ***** EXCEPTION OCCURS ON THIS LINE Channel channel = _session.openChannel("sftp"); _sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) channel; _sftpChannel.connect(); } I can confirm that the private key is loaded properly, but I can't really tell if my known_hosts file is causing the problem. Could an invalid known_hosts file result in a 'Connection refused' error?
