Ganymed SSH-2 for Java is an open source library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java (originally developed for J2SE 1.4.2). 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
