Thread: JSCH Auth Failure

Hiya. I'm trying to make my own project management system XD (let me explain). It'll be for my own personal projects, I want to be able to store them on my server via sftp. Basicly, I'm using JSCH to manage this. When I try:

		JSch jsch = null;
	    Session session = null;
	    Channel channel = null;
	    ChannelSftp c = null;
		try{
			System.out.println("Checking for Projects Directory");
			jsch = new JSch();
	        session = jsch.getSession(puser, pserver, pport);
	        session.setPassword(ppassword);
	        java.util.Properties config = new java.util.Properties(); 
	        config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
	        session.setConfig(config);
            session.connect();
            channel = session.openChannel("sftp");
            channel.connect();
            c = (ChannelSftp) channel;
			c.mkdir("/home/" + puser + "/Projects/");
		}
		catch (Exception ex){
			System.out.println("Error locating Projects Folder: " + ex.getStackTrace() + ex.getMessage());
			System.out.println("Could not make project on server. Please restart the program.");
		}

I'm getting auth failure messages...any ideas?

Using the logging example on the website, I can connect fine...what am I doing wrong???

Dunno what I changed, But i started getting unknownHost exceptions. downloaded pre-compiled lib, problem back to AuthFailure Exception. Checked server config, didn't see any problems

Switched back to zehonSFTP, (funny enough, it uses JSCH!), getting auth fail msg's (caused by JSCH inside of zehon!), which is making me think it's something wrong with my server...any ideas on ssh config errors?

Just confirmed it's a problem with my sftp server, as this :

import com.zehon.sftp.*;
public class zeDebug {
 
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try{
			System.out.println("Debug");
			SFTPClient sftpClient = new SFTPClient("127.0.0.1", 22, "user", "password");
			if (sftpClient.folderExists("dummy")==true){
				System.out.println("dummy");
			}else{
				System.out.println("not dummy");
			}
		}catch (Exception ex){
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}
 
 
	}
 
}

works with a windows SSH server...i'm not getting any errors. Soo... now what?

Idiot me, the method I was using to get the password stored it as a char[]. Converting that to string the CORRECT way might help. Problem resolved!
