Searching for FTP over SSH (not SFTP) Server and Java library

As a requirement in a customer project is to support FTP over SSH I'm currently looking for 2 things:

1. A SecureFTP-Server for testing purpose
2. A Java library which supports FTP over SSH.

When searching for a solution the main problem is that ALL implementations are also transfering the files encrypted (and therefore implementing SSH FTP) - this is NOT what I'm looking for. As described here (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_File_Transfer_Protocol - german only) only the authentication and file listing should be encrypted - the file transfer itself is not encrypted.

Please don't try to convince me to use SSH FTP (or other secure protocolls like FTPS) - I need to use the more insecure version as the customer uses it...

EDIT: FTP over SSH exactly describs what I'm searching for.

If FTP over SSH is what you're after, one of the projects mentioned at the Wikipedia page on FTP over SSH is FONC, which is both a client and a server, written in Java, and licensed under GPLv2.

This looks like what you're looking for, check if the license is applicable to your project.
