[JSch-users] Feature-Request: Accept InputStreams instead of Files

[Moshe Elisha]

Hey,

I know this is a (very) old thread but it is relevant for me.
Looking at the code and the changelog I can't see that this was implemented.

Was it implemented? Is it planned?

I need this feature as our private keys are stored in the DB and we don't
want to write them to disk just in order to use them in JSCH.

Thanks.

I am referring this old thread
http://sourceforge.net/p/jsch/mailman/message/3862205/ which asks for a way
to provide a private key as InputStream instead of a file.

Hi,

Jsch allows to provide the private and public keys as byte arrays instead of files (Jsch.addIdentity()
) You shouldn’t need streaming for your private key (or known hosts
). Does this help you?

Best regards

Yes. I believe it does. Thanks!
