title: "Session" vs "Channel" (JSch and sshd)
body: <p>I'm looking to move small files (at unknown times and in unknown quantities) from one server to another using JSch - unfortunately, I tried to open up a sessions for each transfer which quickly bombed out (as MaxSessions was I guess 10?).</p>
  
  <p>Then I opened one session (per host) with JSch, and simply created a channel for each action (a single send would create a channel, put the file, closed the channel), but I encountered the same thing (when trying to do it 10 or more at a time, I would get connections refused as some channels were still closing when another request came through).</p>
  
  <p>So I've looked at sshd_config and figured out that they have a MaxSessions property which would come in quite useful here - but it got me wondering, is there not a MaxChannelsPerSession property, or am I getting confused with regard to what JSch calls a "channel" and what is an actual SSH channel.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the most recent version of JSch as of 20120316.</p>
  
  <p>(And most importantly, should I post this in a different place on the site?  It's <em>kind of</em> programming related, but I guess is part sysadmin as well...)</p>
