Java – streaming remote files into file objects

If someone knows how to stream remote files directly to file objects, it is not necessary to temporarily store files on the computer, we will be grateful!

SSHClient ssh = new SSHClient();
ssh.addHostKeyVerifier(fingerprint);
ssh.connect(ip);

try {
    ssh.authPassword("username","userpassword".tocharArray());
    ssh.newSCPFileTransfer().download(fileRemote,new FileSystemFile(fileLocal));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    ssh.disconnect();
}

If someone is interested in the code of the solution:

As nutlike mentioned in his answer, it is best to use inmemorydestfile So create the following classes:

class MyInMemoryDestFile extends InMemoryDestFile {
    public ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    @Override
    public ByteArrayOutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException {
        return this.outputStream;
    }
}

... in the method performing the download operation, create an instance of the new class:

MyInMemoryDestFile a = new StreamingInMemoryDestFile();

And access the output stream:

ssh.newSCPFileTransfer().download(remoteFile,a);
a.getOutputStream().toByteArray();

Best wishes

Solution

Is it not enough to use inmemorydestfile instead of filesystemfile?

Edit:... Then use getoutputstream() to access' file '
