[JSch-users] InputStream.available() always returns 0

[JASON H. <J_H...@ms...>]

Using Windows 7 64 bit and jsch 0.1.53 I can connect fine as root to a local Debian 8 machine. with


Channel channel = session.openChannel("shell");


and I can read the input stream, but the channel.getInputStream().available() always returns 0 so I don't know when the input is complete. The examples included in jsch use the available() method for this purpose. Can I do anything to make available() behave as expected? Is there a workaround?


I am also doing


session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");


but I assume this has no bearing on the problem...


Thanks for your help.
