Does JSch need sftp/ssh client installed

Question

I am using JSch to transfer a file to a remote server. I have configured it to use sftp channel with user/password and StrictHostKeyChecking set to 'no'. Since I have open channel set to sftp, does JSch require sftp/ssh client to be installed on the client machine?

Answer 1

No,JSch is a pure Java implementation of SSH2.
