+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java - build 251 beta1

+========================================

+

+http://www.cleondris.ch/opensource/ssh2/

+

+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java is a library which implements the SSH-2 protocol in pure Java

+(tested on J2SE 1.4.2, 5 and 6). It allows one to connect to SSH servers from within

+Java programs. It supports SSH sessions (remote command execution and shell access),

+local and remote port forwarding, local stream forwarding, X11 forwarding, SCP and SFTP.

+There are no dependencies on any JCE provider, as all crypto functionality is included.

+

+Ganymed SSH-2 for Java was originally developed for the Ganymed replication project

+and a couple of other projects at the IKS group at ETH Zurich (Switzerland).

+

+This distribution contains the source code, examples, javadoc and the FAQ.

+It also includes a pre-compiled jar version of the library which is ready to use.

+

+- Please read the included LICENCE.txt

+- Latest changes can be found in HISTORY.txt

+

+The latest version of the FAQ is available on the website.
