JSch Algorithm negotiation fail


I try to connect SFTP server by Java.

I got an error.

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail

Here is the POM:

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
            <artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
            <version>0.1.53</version>
</dependency>

Here is the log:

I got this error what i tried to fix. I cannot access the SFTP server to download or update any file or etc...

I can connect the server by FileZilla, but I cannot make it by Java.

Connection Code:

JSch jsch = new JSch();
Properties config = new Properties();
config.put("cipher.s2c", 
           "aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes192-ctr,aes192-cbc,aes256-ctr,aes256-cbc");
config.put("cipher.c2s",
           "aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes192-ctr,aes192-cbc,aes256-ctr,aes256-cbc");
config.put("kex", "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256");
Session jschSession = jsch.getSession("username","server",22);

jschSession.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
jschSession.setPassword("password");
jschSession.setConfig(config);
jschSession.connect();

When I added

config.put("cipher.s2c", 
           "aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes192-ctr,aes192-cbc,aes256-ctr,aes256-cbc");

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail

Solution

  • As you can see, the server offers these ciphers:

    INFO: kex: server: aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc

    But JSch accepts only these:

    INFO: kex: client: aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc

    There's no common cipher to choose from.


    Note that JSch does support both aes256-cbc and aes192-cbc, but requires JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) to allow them.

    You probably do not have JCE, so these ciphers are not available. That's why there's

    INFO: aes256-cbc is not available.


    Download Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 8 (or other version if you are using other JDK – 1.7, 1.6, IBM JDK 1.6).
