Streaming remote files into file objects

If anyone knows a quick way how to get a remote file directly streaming into a file object, so it isn't necessary to store the file temporary on a computer it would be greatly appreciated! Until now I copy the file from a remote ios-device as follows (using net.schmizz.sshj): ``` 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 there's anyone who's interested in the code of the solution: As Nutlike mentioned in his answer it's better to use `InMemoryDestFile`. So create the following class: ``` class MyInMemoryDestFile extends InMemoryDestFile { public ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); @Override public ByteArrayOutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException { return this.outputStream; } } ``` ... in your method where you perform the download operation create an instance of your new class: ``` MyInMemoryDestFile a = new StreamingInMemoryDestFile(); ``` and access the outputstream: ``` ssh.newSCPFileTransfer().download(remoteFile, a); a.getOutputStream().toByteArray(); ``` best regards
