Overview

Apache MINA SSHD is a 100% pure java library to support the SSH protocols on both the client and server side. It does not aim at being a replacement for the SSH client or SSH server from Unix operating systems, but rather provides support for Java based applications requiring SSH support.

The library can leverage several I/O back-ends:

• The default transport is built-in and uses Java’s AsynchronousSocketChannels.
• Apache MINA, a scalable and high performance asynchronous I/O library, can be used instead, or
• the Netty asynchronous event-driven network framework is also supported.

The technical documentation is maintained in the source tree.
