openssh unix dev - Apr 2001 - JNI Wrappering OpenSSH ?

I am currently toying with various avenues for doing some secured file
transfers from a javaland process. Realistically on the server side
the thing I want is OpenSSH's sftp server. My question is, on the
client side, how to get java to talk ssh2 secsh file xfer.

Would a sane approach be to find the appropriate points of OpenSSH and
turn it into a java library by liberal application of JNI, or should
I be turning my hand at using JCE to implement a ssh2 comms lib?

Pros / Cons / Ideas / Flames all appreciated...

Depending on what you are going to do we have an ssh2 implementation in
pure java including the sftp protocol. Currently it's a binary demo (in
the form of a simple ssh client). It will be available in source form also
later on (free for non-commercial use). See www.mindbright.se/mindterm for
more info on licensing et.c.
