[ excerpt from developer's web site ] Sch is a pure Java implementation of SSH2. JSch allows you to connect to an sshd server and use port forwarding, X11 forwarding, file transfer, etc., and you can integrate its functionality into your own Java programs. JSch is licensed under BSD style license. - Why JSch? Our intension in developing this stuff is to enable users of our pure java X servers, WiredX and WeirdX, to enjoy secure X sessions. Our efforts have mostly targeted the SSH2 protocol in relation to X window system and X11 forwarding. Of course, we are also interested in adding other functionality - port forward, file transfer, terminal emulation, etc. Visit these following web pages for more information: WWW: http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/
