SSH exception : The SFTP susbsytem could not be initialised!

Question

HI,

I am trying to ftp a file from one solaris to another solaris box. but when i run the code, i get an SSH exception saying that "The SFTP subsystem could not be intialised".

Btw i am able to manually SFTP the server. for this i give the command as

sftp -s /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server userid@servername
password: pwd

and it takes me to sftp mode.

but i want to do this programmatically. below is the code i have written for this


import java.io.IOException;

import com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPException;
import com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.ssh.SSHFTPClient;
import com.enterprisedt.util.debug.Level;
import com.enterprisedt.util.debug.Logger;


public class pocSFTP {

public static void main(String args[]){
String serverName = "servername";
String userId = "userid";
String password = "pwd";
String destPath = "path is valid";
String localPath = "local path is also valid";
String filename = "file11.txt";
try {
Logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);

SSHFTPClient ftp = new SSHFTPClient();

ftp.setRemoteHost(serverName);

ftp.getValidator().setHostValidationEnabled(false);

ftp.setRemotePort(22);

ftp.setAuthentication(userId,password);

ftp.connect();

ftp.chdir(destPath);

ftp.put(localPath,filename);

ftp.quit();
}catch(IOException Ie){

Ie.printStackTrace();

}catch(FTPException fe){

fe.printStackTrace();
}
}

}

Please email the log file to support at enterprisedt dot com.

To enable logging do something like the below:

import com.enterprisedt.util.debug.*;

Logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
Logger.addAppender(new FileAppender("myfile.log"));
