Close the underlying SSH forwarding channel and free up resources.
InputStream
getInputStream()
OutputStream
getOutputStream()
Get the OutputStream.

Method Details

close

public void close()
            throws IOException
Close the underlying SSH forwarding channel and free up resources. You can also use this method to force the shutdown of the underlying forwarding channel. Pending output (OutputStream not flushed) will NOT be sent. Pending input (InputStream) can still be read. If the shutdown operation is already in progress (initiated from either side), then this call is a no-op.

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
            throws IOException
Returns:
An InputStream object.

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()
            throws IOException
Get the OutputStream. Please be aware that the implementation MAY use an internal buffer. To make sure that the buffered data is sent over the tunnel, you have to call the flush method of the OutputStream. To signal EOF, please use the close method of the OutputStream.
Returns:
An OutputStream object.
