Method Detail

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns:

An InputStream object.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Get the OutputStream. Please be aware that the implementation MAY use an internal buffer. To make sure that the buffered data is sent over the tunnel, you have to call the flush method of the OutputStream. To signal EOF, please use the close method of the OutputStream.

Returns:

An OutputStream object.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Close the underlying SSH forwarding channel and free up resources. You can also use this method to force the shutdown of the underlying forwarding channel. Pending output (OutputStream not flushed) will NOT be sent. Pending input (InputStream) can still be read. If the shutdown operation is already in progress (initiated from either side), then this call is a no-op.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
