安迪，要在远程系统上删除文件，你需要使用JSch的(channelExec)并传递unix/linux命令来删除它。

JSch库是一个功能强大的库，可以用来从SFTP服务器读取文件。下面是逐行从SFTP位置读取文件的测试代码

JSch jsch = new JSch();
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = jsch.getSession("user", "127.0.0.1", 22);
            session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
            session.setPassword("password");
            session.connect();

            Channel channel = session.openChannel("sftp");
            channel.connect();
            ChannelSftp sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) channel;

            InputStream stream = sftpChannel.get("/usr/home/testfile.txt");
            try {
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
                String line;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    System.out.println(line);
                }

            } catch (IOException io) {
                System.out.println("Exception occurred during reading file from SFTP server due to " + io.getMessage());
                io.getMessage();

            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println("Exception occurred during reading file from SFTP server due to " + e.getMessage());
                e.getMessage();

            }

            sftpChannel.exit();
            session.disconnect();
        } catch (JSchException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SftpException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

hierynomus/sshj有一个完整的SFTP版本3的实现(OpenSSH实现的)

来自SFTPUpload.java的示例代码

package net.schmizz.sshj.examples;

import net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient;
import net.schmizz.sshj.sftp.SFTPClient;
import net.schmizz.sshj.xfer.FileSystemFile;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

/** This example demonstrates uploading of a file over SFTP to the SSH server. */
public class SFTPUpload {

    public static void main(String[] args)
            throws IOException {
        final SSHClient ssh = new SSHClient();
        ssh.loadKnownHosts();
        ssh.connect("localhost");
        try {
            ssh.authPublickey(System.getProperty("user.name"));
            final String src = System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + "test_file";
            final SFTPClient sftp = ssh.newSFTPClient();
            try {
                sftp.put(new FileSystemFile(src), "/tmp");
            } finally {
                sftp.close();
            }
        } finally {
            ssh.disconnect();
        }
    }

}

下面是一个使用Apache Common VFS的例子:

FileSystemOptions fsOptions = new FileSystemOptions();
SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setStrictHostKeyChecking(fsOptions, "no");
FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager();
String uri = "sftp://user:password@host:port/absolute-path";
FileObject fo = fsManager.resolveFile(uri, fsOptions);

有3个成熟的用于SFTP的Java库:Commons VFS、SSHJ和JSch

总而言之，如果你不需要Commons VFS提供的其他存储支持，那么SSHJ具有最清晰的API，是其中最好的API。

下面是从github编辑的SSHJ示例:

final SSHClient ssh = new SSHClient();
ssh.loadKnownHosts(); // or, to skip host verification: ssh.addHostKeyVerifier(new PromiscuousVerifier())
ssh.connect("localhost");
try {
    ssh.authPassword("user", "password"); // or ssh.authPublickey(System.getProperty("user.name"))
    final SFTPClient sftp = ssh.newSFTPClient();
    try {
        sftp.get("test_file", "/tmp/test.tmp");
    } finally {
        sftp.close();
    }
} finally {
    ssh.disconnect();
}

尝试edtFTPj/PRO，这是一个成熟、健壮的SFTP客户端库，支持连接池和异步操作。还支持FTP和FTPS，因此安全文件传输的所有基础都包括在内。
