Class OpenSshConfig

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    com.jcraft.jsch.ConfigRepository

    public class OpenSshConfig
    extends Object
    implements com.jcraft.jsch.ConfigRepository
    Fairly complete configuration parser for the OpenSSH ~/.ssh/config file.

    JSch does have its own config file parser OpenSSHConfig since version 0.1.50, but it has a number of problems:

    • it splits lines of the format "keyword = value" wrongly: you'd end up with the value "= value".
    • its "Host" keyword is not case insensitive.
    • it doesn't handle quoted values.
    • JSch's OpenSSHConfig doesn't monitor for config file changes.

    This parser makes the critical options available to SshSessionFactory via OpenSshConfig.Host objects returned by lookup(String), and implements a fully conforming ConfigRepository providing ConfigRepository.Configs via getConfig(String).

    Since:
    6.0

    • Method Detail

      • get

        public static OpenSshConfig get​(FS fs)
        Obtain the user's configuration data.

        The configuration file is always returned to the caller, even if no file exists in the user's home directory at the time the call was made. Lookup requests are cached and are automatically updated if the user modifies the configuration file since the last time it was cached.

        Parameters:
        fs - the file system abstraction which will be necessary to perform certain file system operations.
        Returns:
        a caching reader of the user's configuration file.
      • lookup

        public OpenSshConfig.Host lookup​(String hostName)
        Locate the configuration for a specific host request.
        Parameters:
        hostName - the name the user has supplied to the SSH tool. This may be a real host name, or it may just be a "Host" block in the configuration file.
        Returns:
        r configuration for the requested name. Never null.
      • getConfig

        public com.jcraft.jsch.ConfigRepository.Config getConfig​(String hostName)

        Retrieves the full Config for the given host name. Should be called only by Jsch and tests.

        Specified by:
