Follow next simple steps:

  1. From JMeter SSH Sampler Releases page:

    • Download latest version of ApacheJMeter_ssh-x.x.x.jar and drop it to /lib/ext folder of your JMeter installation
    • Download jsch-x.x.x.jar and drop it to /lib folder of your JMeter installation
  2. Restart JMeter to pick the jars up

  3. Add SSH Command Sampler to your Test Plan - there will be "Client certificate" input section where you can specify private key and password if needed
