Post what you've tried. Describe what problems you're having, errors received, bad behaviors observed. Helping you has to have someplace to start, and you haven't given us anything to work with.

ok sorry like i said noob im at the beginning here basically i have built a client for my android and can scp files to my debian openssh im looking to send these files to another android running tomcat server but building the server is where im at a dead end. thanks for replys

thanks like i said i must be missing something big

k in case its of use to others
ssh is the command you use to connect to remote machines - the client.
sshd is the daemon that is running and allows others to connect to the machine - the server.
the java implementation of sshd is apache mina and can be found here

There are many ways to remote in to a machine—some of them are secure, some of them are not. For the old school administrators, you can't beat secure shell for security. Unfortunately, the Windows platform doesn't include either a secure shell client or server. In order to connect to a machine via SSH (default port 22), the secure shell daemon must be present on the machine in question.
