I tried out the options. However, I could not get it working.

I used “timeout” and “failonerror” options to drop the connection
Example:
failonerror=”no”
timeout=”30000″

A workaround I found is to use sftp=”true” .

Thank you so much for this post — reverting back to use jsch-0.1.29.jar worked! (instead of jsch-0.1.39.jar)

Thanks a million for this post. I was going crazy thinking it was my limited understanding of Ant. With Ant 1.7.0, jsch .1.29 works perfectly, as you mentioned. Btw, the direct link to this older release is here: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=64920&use_mirror=easynews&filename=jsch-0.1.29.jar&96256293

We intermittently had a similar problem at work. Interactive ssh with X forwarding, though.

With ssh -vvv we tracked it to an xauth process being started and not exiting every time, and when PuTTY clients exited the xauth process would go to 100% CPU. I think we eventually tracked it down to something about people’s home areas being auto-mounted from a new Linux box, and xauth was looking to read or write some magic cookie and it got all upset.
