Check out the desired SFTP Transport version from Subversion at: https://svn.muleforge.org/mule-transport-sftp
For this example, let's say your Subversion workspace is $WS.
cd to $WS
Run "mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install" at the command prompt. This builds the SFTP connector. Running unit tests is not recommended unless you understand the SFTP Transport Unit Tests section in the SFTP Connector User Guide.
Copy the mule-transport-sftp.jar file from $WS/target to $MULE_HOME/lib/user.
Copy the libraries from the "Library Dependencies" directory below to $MULE_HOME/lib/user.

The following libraries are needed by the SFTP Transport. They are copied to you M2_REPO location during the build:

$M2_REPO/com/jcraft/jsch/0.1.29/jsch-0.1.29.jar

Note: The $M2_REPO location on Linux/Unix the location is ~/.m2 by default. On Windows it's usually c:/Documents and Settings/<user>/.m2.
