JSch uses a call jSch.addIdentity( privateKey ) to user pulic key authorization, privateKey being the contents of a text file that stores your private key.  Doesn't your library load the JSch java as well, allowing me to just make JSch objects?

Daniel Shiffman Full Member Offline Posts: 186	Re: SFTP Public Key Authentication Reply #5 - Feb 15th, 2008, 6:30am   Aha, yes, I see.  Sorry, I didn't implement that functionality.  Would certainly be worth adding at some point, but for now, yes I would recommend using the JSch library directly (rather than my wrapper).  Or better yet you could just grab my source and pull it into your project directly and edit. . . Will put it on my list.
