Using JSch, is there a way to tell if a remote file exists without doing an ls?

Using JSch, is there a way to tell if a remote file exists without doing an ls and looping through the files to find a name match?

Thanks

Solution

  • (This is if you're using the SFTP part of the library, an assumption I made without thinking about it.)

    I thought its ls(String path) would accept filenames; I can't check at the moment.

    If it doesn't, you don't need to iterate manually; you can use the selector variant:

    ls(String path, ChannelSftp.LsEntrySelector selector)
