are there any plans to support "ssh" within the commons-net package?
Not that I know of at the moment. Still, if there is demand for an ssh client protocol implementation in Java distributed under the ASL, there's no reason it could not be implemented. That is, keeping in mind that a commons-net implementation would in effect be a toolkit for building ssh client applications, exposing the protocol to the programmer through an API, rather than a full end-user ssh client application with terminal emulation, etc. However, I would guess most folks would be adequately served by wrapping a command line ssh client like OpenSSH. Perhaps that's a place to start. Define some interfaces and provide an OpenSSH wrapper implementation, providing a pure Java implementation later only if there is a real demand.
Perhaps not ssh per se, but I would imagine that the ability to use scp directly from Java (via an API like you describe, not an end-user app) would be quite popular (along with sftp and https).
