What you are doing cannot work. You cannot upload a file by only executing a command on the remote server. Where would the server take the file contents from? It cannot magically access your local files.

See the official JSch ScpTo.java example for a correct implementation of SCP upload.

I am new to this. so yes don't know what is happening in the background. I am using window os . I have tried your example code as it is not working for me. That code is exit on the very first stage :- if(arg.length!=2){ System.err.println("usage: java ScpTo file1 user@remotehost:file2"); System.exit(-1); } – Shubham Jain Apr 24 '17 at 13:14
Do I am missing some steps. can you please clearify more so I can exeucte the command accordingly – Shubham Jain Apr 24 '17 at 13:21
Just remove all references to `arg` and replace them with the paths and credentials you want to use. See the variables `lfile`, `user`, `host` and `rfile` + call `session.setPassword` to provide password, instead of using interactive login (remove `session.setUserInfo(ui)`). - Of course the code uploads a single file. Do you have to loop it to upload all files from a folder. – Martin Prikryl Apr 24 '17 at 16:39

In an another approch I have used sh exector directly from my local without connecting to the server first

"echo "+pass+" | "+"sudo -S Worked for me

My full code seems like below :-

String pass = "\"Yourpassword\"";
                out.println("echo "+pass+" | "+"sudo -S scp -i "+Pemfilepath+" -r "+targetFolder+" "+"user@xx.xxx.xx.xxx:/var/www/html/projects/demoproject");

Hope it will help you :)
