Single command from a java application

[Jack W Marks]

I am trying to execute a single command on the remote server from within 
my Java application. Ultimately I want to scp a file remotely, but at 
this point, I am just testing various commands. The code below attempts 
a simple `dir`, a remote --> local scp and local --> remote scp. None of 
these commands seem to work; the first returns false, the others throw 
exceptions. Can anyone point me in the right direction, as I am rather 
stuck.

try {
    //Make connection
    SSH2SimpleClient ssh = new SSH2SimpleClient(sock, rand, user,
        "password", auth, props);
    //get connection object
    SSH2Connection conn = ssh.getConnection();

    //Set logging level for debugging
    conn.setLog(new Log(Log.LEVEL_DEBUG));

    //Try a simple `dir` command on the remote server (NT)
    SSH2ConsoleRemote console =  new SSH2ConsoleRemote(conn);
    System.out.println(console.command("dir"));
    console.close();

    //Try an SCP command
    FileOutputStream fos = null;
    try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream("d:\\java\\out.txt");
    } catch ( FileNotFoundException nfe) {
        System.out.println("Oops: " +
           ExceptionHandler.StrackTrace2String(nfe));
    }

    File f = null;
    try {
        f = new File("d:\\java");
    } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
        System.out.println("Oops: " +
          ExceptionHandler.StrackTrace2String(npe));
    }

    //Create a new SSHSCP1Client for scp command
    SSH2SCP1Client scp = new SSH2SCP1Client(f, conn, fos, true);
    try {
        //Copy remote file here
         scp.scp1().copyToLocal(
             "d:\\java\\aCube.txt","d:\\Cubes\\aCube.txt", false);

        //copy local file there
        scp.scp1().copyToRemote(
            "d:\\java\\jack.txt", "d:\\cubes\\jack.txt", false);

     } catch (IOException ioe) {
         System.out.println("Oops: " +
            ExceptionHandler.StrackTrace2String(ioe));
     }

     //All done
     conn.fatalDisconnect(-1, "");
} catch (SSH2Exception s2e) {
     System.out.println("Error connecting: " +
        ExceptionHandler.StrackTrace2String(s2e));
}
