SSHDroid

I use SSHDroid to periodically sync files (e.g. documents and keepass password database) between Unix/Linux/illumos systems [1] and my Huawei Ascend Y330-U01 phone, using scp. Works like a treat. Will try the new rsync option soon. Thanks for this great tool! [1] Also from the MobaXterm 'nix environment on MS Windows 7.

Worked out of the box, which is more than I can say for the last SSH server app I tried. Using SSH keys costs money, which would be fine, as there price is reasonable, but I don't see any option to pay with Bitcoin so I'll just go without.

Does not work due to not being fixed for modern Android versions that require PIE

Night and day difference from other SSH Server apps I've installed (and uninstalled). Even the shell interface is different, better, does BASH like command history, backspace works, interrupt works, ls outputs in columnar format with color highlighting. I haven't got that far into it yet but if it supports remote execution run and exit keys, well then it's pretty much perfect. I really downloaded this because there essentially isn't any workable SNMP agents or any other monitoring agents that work reliably like Zabbix or JNX that I've found for Android, so this is a means to roll my own, and run and exit scripts that simply output /proc data would do mostly what you need for monitoring. App claims to work on Android TV, or at least doesn't claim not to work and that is another big bonus, but so far it doesn't seem to. App is there but the settings menu is just a dead button. I need to deduct one star for that because even if another SSH server did less it'd win based on that functionality. The Android TVs really need this sort of functionality of some sort, other than local Termux which is better than nothing (and works) but they really need some kind of remote tweaking ability

my main use for this is to xfer files which on my marshmallow works poorly since it cannot access properly the sd card.

This version is useless without a hostkey based authentication. Clear text password auth should be considered insecure in 2016.

Ssh connection with android was never easier. Works perfectly without any issues at all.

Great app, only bug that annoys me is that it breaks the connection when I go to Settings->Apps for some reason

I try to connect to Ubuntu OS, but doesn't work

Nice port of the Dropbear ssh server implementation. Would get 5 stars if it supported the ssh -X option for seamless X11 tunnelling..

Not good without write access to SD card

Insanely slow connection that constantly keeps disconnecting.

Does not work with Nexus 5 Android 5.1.1 :(

You can use rsync to synchronize the smartphone and the computer through an encrypted network...what may I ask more?

A big help in working around MTP protocol issues in Linux. Works well.

Used to work great, but now it crashes after I grant it superuser access.

Works great. No muss no fuss. Love that it displays the connect string (root@192.168.....) as a reminder. Best solution so far to copy files to my device (via rsync or sshfs on desktop computer). Cons: 1.) It should really prompt to change the default password on first use. 2.) It should make it easier to add my desktop key, for passwordless login. Maybe prompt at first connection from the desktop? 3.) Something as sensitive as an SSH server should be open source. How do I know this does not phone home?

When I try to connect, I can see in the logs that the connection has been established, but then nothing happens. I tried to contact the developers by email but they did not answer.

This app is very handy for anyone needing to use the terminal on their phone, but prefer to use their desktop. This makes it much easier. It also works well with Linux Deploy, but on a separate port. I haven't found any problems using this app on any of my devices, and it is possible to get rid of the ads, so I give it 5 stars.

This app does not properly implement public key authentication, requiring private keys to be stored on the device and offering no means of providing public keys (which are what should be used for authentication) to the app to authenticate remote connections. I would be wary of this developer as they clearly do not understand public key infrastructure and appear to have a shaky understanding of security mechanisms.

Used this all the time but this version just crashes as soon as you launch it :(

Great app. I installed it on my Shield TV so that I could manage the file system more easily from a familiar ssh session and updated to the pro version immediately so that I could use SSH keys,. But, I would have upgraded regardless because the app design is great and the app "just works" and then gets out of your way. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I would like to see an actual Android TV interface (setting this up with the game controller was "fun"). If I see any evidence that better Android TV support is coming soon I'll up my rating to 5 stars. But, since the app hasn't been updated in over a year, I'm not optimistic (although that could just be because the app is so awesome there's nothing left to do to it in the dev's opinion).

Does not work. On trying to start the server, I get: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.

But giving it 3 stars anyway because my client is setup for iphone. So it's probably me not the app

It will authenticate but it won't open the window in winscp. I tried filezilla and that errors. If i untick use root it works but I can't transfer any files across

I love that this can be controlled with Intents from Tasker. It only supports a few ciphers/hash functions. I was unable to use blowfish.

I was very impressed to see so many familiar things from GNU and Linux, most of which worked as expected - except "rsync" - and "scp" has given me the ability to transfer files easily. I might have to pay for the full version because I would like shared keys for ssh authentication.

this is really good app. but why I can't perform command such 'reboot' or 'poweroff' from remote access area? I mean such execute reboot command from putty..

Works great, when it's running. Any Wi-Fi event (associate, disassociate, turn on, turn off) causes it to stop. I've tried every combination of the Wi-Fi settings in the options to no avail.

Woo hoo! Using Dolphin to access the elusive 2nd partition which doesn't appear as a mountable partition with Android 5. It's not mass storage but close enough. I dinged it a star for using a whopping 140+ MB (!) of memory. I don't know if it's video for the ads or what, but that seems excessive for an SSH server. Perhaps it's less of an issue in the paid version. Thankfully there's a menu option to quit, which immediately releases the allocated memory so you don't have to wait around for Android to kill it when you're done using it.

Love it! Let's me rsync to and from my phone, makes it fast and easy to transfer data without having to put confidential into "the cloud" temporarily. Wish it supported keeping timestamps when copying to phone, though. "Failed to set times on...: Operation not permitted"

Having "only position independent executables (PIE) are supported" error. Not being fixed for months.

It's a good app, but useless without access to my SD card. The addition of rsync was a great progress, which allows me to transfer data between my phone and other devices, but not being able to access the SD makes it pointless. I know it's easy to fix, but I hope the developer adds this feature.

Could not test it because it looks for wifi when my android box has wired ethernet. Great customer support, and my aforementioned issue was resolved :)

I've installed this application and hope that it would work and run automatically on my android set-top-box. And it run as i expected.

Since cm12.1 no longer supports using dropbear I couldn't ssh until I found this app

But giving it 3 stars anyway because my client is setup for iphone. So it's probably me not the app

good but minus 2 stars for annoying AD
