Maverick Synergy is a Java implementation of the SSH2 protocol. It helps Java developers connect their Java applications to SSH servers to execute commands, transfer files, access remote network services, and much more.
Synergy can also be used as an SSH server to allow other SSH clients to connect to your application. You can create your own Command Line Interface, develop commands in Java, and send and receive files on your custom file system.
What is SSH?
SSH is a secure communication protocol that allows users to log in remotely to another machine. Users can access their shell, execute commands, transfer files, and more advanced features such as port forwarding, which allows access to network services running on the remote host or other servers on the remote hosts’ network.
Why Maverick Synergy?
Maverick Synergy is the third generation SSH API developed by JADAPTIVE, licensed under a dual licensing model with LGPL and commercial licensing. It provides the open-source community and our business partners with the most up-to-date and commercially supported Java SSH API.
