J2SSH Maverick

J2SSH Maverick is the second generation of our original open source Java SSH library. J2SSH Maverick is a flexible and lightweight successor to J2SSH, Maverick has been completely redesigned and rewritten to provide the highest performance and maximum flexibility for platform independent security applications.

Maverick is the definitive solution for total SSH compatibility on the Java� platform. The library is designed to support SSH1 and SSH2 using any version of the Java Development Kit from 1.1 and above, and the API is also now J2ME-ready1 in anticipation of the new breed of interconnected mobile devices.

A complete design overhaul with priority placed on performance results in greater speed and responsiveness when compared to similar competing solutions. Connections authenticate faster and SFTP/SCP transfers complete quicker with the Maverick API.

Maverick has no dependencies on external libraries and the core distribution size is just 148k. In terms of real world usage, this means that your Maverick-based applets load faster and initialization times are reduced.

Please see the range of Maverick tutorials on our knowledge base, designed to help you get the most out of J2SSH Maverick with the minimum of effort.

Here are some key features of "J2SSH Maverick":
