Awesome Java SFTP libraries

Inspired by Awesome Java

A more-or-less curated list of Java SFTP libraries:

SFTP Servers

Apache

• Apache Mina SSHD - Java library to support SSH servers and clients.

SFTP Clients

JSch based

• Original JSch - Original website. Library is outdated (using Java Vectors, etc). No clear way to contribute changes back to it. Also, lacking good documentation.
• Original JSch - GitHub mirror
• JSch with native Win32 Kerberos support - Last updated 5 years ago.
• Original JSch with example usages - This is really useful since the original JSch library lacks proper JavaDocs.
• Original JSch with JavaDocs.
• JSch-extension - Extension of the original JSch library, providing multiple session management, and simplified interfaces for sftp/scp, tunneling via SSH, and general command execution.
• JSch-NIO - A nice port of the JSch library based on the Java NIO classes. This exposes the SFTP file system as a Java NIO FileSystem object, providing an useful way of interacting with the server, especially when handling connections to multiple types of remote servers.
• SSHWrap - A wrap around JSch allowing easier execution of commands via SFTP/SFTP. Last updated 5 years ago.
• vngx-JSch - An update to the original JSch library, to use Java 6 features. Includes JavaDocs, Maven build support, and many functional improvements

Others

• sshj - An up-to-date library including SSH, SCP and SFTP support, with decent set of examples.
