How I can connect my java application to unix server

Question

I want to develop simple desktop Application using which I can login and fire simple UNIX command like ls -lrt etc. Can any one guide me to achieve this ?

Answer 1

Here is a sample program which illustrates connecting to a unix server using SSH protocol.
The API used is enchanter - http://code.google.com/p/enchanter/
import java.io.IOException;
import org.twdata.enchanter.SSH;
import org.twdata.enchanter.impl.DefaultSSH;
public class MainSSH {
      * @param args
      * @throws IOException
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          SSH ssh = new DefaultSSH();
          ssh.connect("<IP_Address>", 22<port_number>, "<user_name>", "<password>");
          ssh.waitFor("]$");
          ssh.sendLine("ls -lrt");          
          System.out.println(ssh.getLine());
          ssh.disconnect();
}Thanks,
