Trilead SSH for Java

Trilead SSH for Java

Trilead SSH for Java is a freely available open-source library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java (tested on J2SE 1.4.2 and 5.0). It allows one to connect to SSH servers from within Java programs. It supports SSH sessions (remote command execution and shell access), local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding, X11 forwarding, SCP and SFTP. There are no dependencies on any JCE provider, as all crypto functionality is included.

Trilead SSH for Java is being actively developed by Dr. Christian Plattner who is working now for Trilead. Dr. Plattner originally created the well-known Ganymed SSH-2 for Java library during his PhD studies, however, the work on the Ganymed code has been discontinued.

Please note that Trilead SSH for Java is completely backwards compatible to the Ganymed code.
