Here is an earlier question on Stackoverflow, for which the accepted answer suggests using JSch library.

How to retrieve a file from a server via SFTP?

I see that you have tried to connect via JSch and got an error.

I would suggest that the first thing is to check if you can connect to the sftp machine from the client (same machine on which you are testing your program), using a standard sftp client like Filezilla on Windows OR just the sftp command on a terminal in *nix systems.
