public interface SshTransport
extends SshIO

Simple interface wrapper for transport layer communication. An SSH connection requires a transport layer for communication and this interface defines the general contract. Typically SSH will execute over a TCPIP Socket however the use of this interface allows any type of transport that can expose a set of I/O streams. In the simplest form this interface will be implemented for a Socket as follows:

 import java.net.Socket;
 import java.io.*;
 
 public class SocketTransport extends Socket implements SshTransport {
   public SocketProvider(String host, int port) throws IOException {
     super(host, port);
   }
   public String getConnectedHost() {
      return getInetAddress().getHostName();
   }
 
   ** The close, getInputStream and getOutputStream methods are exposed **
   ** directly by the Socket.                                           **
