I need to make a small test program in java which has to communicate with remote Windows server using telnet, or openSSH. Which library would you suggest to use? I'd like to use a well documented and stable library.

Answer 2

I would use JSch (and do).
It's not too large to learn quickly. It's used in:

1. Ant(1.6 or later).
2. JSch has been used for Ant's sshexec and scp tasks.
3. Eclipse(3.0).
4. Our Eclipse-CVSSSH2 plug-in has been included in Eclipse SDK 3.0. This plug-in will allow you to get ssh2 accesses to remote CVS repository by JSch.
5. NetBeans 5.0(and later)
6. Jakarta Commons VFS
7. Maven Wagon
8. Rational Application Devloper for WebSphere Software
9. HP Storage Essentials
10. JIRA

and, it has X-forwarding and such to work with Linux.

Answer 3

Since you also asked about Telnet Commons Net provides an implementation.

Answer 4

I can also recommend JTA, the Java Terminal Adapter. Very nice plugin architecture if you have to add value to it.
