MindTerm might fit the bill. It is a commercial Java implementation of
the SSH protocol and there are multiple ways of transferring files with
it. I see two ways of solving your problem with MindTerm.

1. Either integrate it and call the provided APIs directly, how hard
   this is depends entirely on your application.

2. Or you can launch MindTerm as a separate application which implements
   an ftp-proxy. In this case you run ftp as normal but connect to
   localhost where MindTerm listens. MindTerm can then forward the files
   either using ftp or sftp on the server.

For more information see http://www.appgate.com/mindterm or ask me.
