sshj - SSHv2 library for Java

To get started, have a look at one of the examples. Hopefully you will find the API pleasant to work with :)

Features of the library include:

• reading known_hosts files for host key verification
• publickey, password and keyboard-interactive authentication
• command, subsystem and shell channels
• local and remote port forwarding
• scp + complete sftp version 0-3 implementation

Implementations / adapters for the following algorithms are included:

ciphers

aes{128,192,256}-{cbc,ctr}, blowfish-cbc, 3des-cbc

key exchange

diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

signatures

ssh-rsa, ssh-dss

mac

hmac-md5, hmac-md5-96, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha1-96

compression

zlib and [email protected] (delayed zlib)

private key files

pkcs8 encoded (what openssh uses)

If you need something that is not included, it shouldn't be too hard to add (do contribute it!)

Dependencies

Java 6+. slf4j is required. bouncycastle is highly recommended and required for using some of the crypto algorithms. jzlib is required for using zlib compression.
