I've also used sshtools, but would *not* recommend using it, and certainly not recommend migrating to it from any current package. The sshtools project was originally released as open-source, but the main developers/maintainers then essentially abandoned the open-source version, and took the code private (see 3sp.com). In particular, new releases of the library that implements the ssh protocol can be found here: http://3sp.com/showMaverick.do The last cvs commit to the sshtools sourceforge project occurred on 26th of November 2003 according to the "sshtools-cvs" mailing list on the sourceforge site. While the last open-source release is reasonably stable, there are still bugs and missing pieces of functionality. I can't remember off-hand what they are now, but I did use sshtools quite extensively on a project a few years ago. It was, at the time, the best alternative but is definitely neither complete nor maintained. Please note that I don't mean any criticism of the 3sp (formerly sshtools) coders. They have every right to sell their code if they want. And they still *do* nicely release some code as open-source; just not the base ssh protocol implementation. In addition, the LGPL license is not currently regarded as being compatible with the Apache ASF license; no LGPL code can be referenced directly from any apache jakarta project.
