About ConnectBot (ssh-agent)

As part of the development of Agit I created this patch of ConnectBot which allows other android apps to use it as an ssh-agent. This means that Agit doesn't need to actually manage or even store SSH keys itself, which is pretty cool.

You only need to trust one app with your SSH keys - that's ConnectBot, which already has great infrastructure for managing public keys - and all other apps defer to it for signing the cryptographic-challenges required to initiate an SSH session.

The pull-request to get this functionality merged back into ConnectBot is here:

https://github.com/kruton/connectbot/pull/13

See the Agit SSH page for more details:

This app is no longer being developed, and is too buggy to use. All of its features are now included in the proper ConnectBot app. Do not install.

Great with a non standard keyboard for some of the shortcuts. Would be helpful if there was an on-screen indication of the shortcut keys. Otherwise my go to for SSH.

Good app and does the job, but the font size is a bit small. I usually have to hold my tablet up to my face to even begin seeing the prompt.

Doesnt work

S70%
by S####:

The better ssh-client I've ever seen, but there is some inconvenience with HD screen. I couldn't find some way to change font size, so it looks very unusable with the small font. Could you please advise how I might increase font size? Thank you.

Landscape keyboard keeps me from seeing what I'm typing in the terminal. Please fix. Otherwise great app.

Z70%
by Z####:

Just a note after reading several reviews: volume buttons change font size. :-)

D70%
by D####:

After a few problems I managed to get the hang of this app. Very handy, use it everyday

D70%
by D####:

Honestly the best added feature for me is to be able to use the TAB key on my Transformer Prime keyboard. If only I could also use CTRL (And ignore the shift/symbol-lock), it'd be just about perfect. Nevertheless the agent-forwarding is also a big plus. Lets hope these features get merged onto the trunk!

F70%
by F####:

Let's me connect to my RasPi from my nexus 7. This is a thing I need, this app makes me happy. Would like and easy way to increase font size.

D70%
by D####:

Amazing Clean, lots of options, works perfectly. Really great.

B70%
by B####:

I am even going to by me now a remote keyboard to carry in my bag always for the rare occasions when I have to fix stuff on the move! Running on Nexus S

J70%
by J####:

Everything is great. My only note is that the instructions assume your phone has a trackball, which mine does not. The alternatives (touching screen) should be listed.

D70%
by D####:

I was missing exactly this feature. Thanks a lot. Strangely enough, the Ctrl key of Hacker's Keyboard app doesn't work (but does in standard CB).

D70%
by D####:

The keyboard with the Asus transformer doesn't work at all, the number keys are all mapped to F1-9 rather than the somewhat more useful !-( / ). The escape key is also only accessible by a soft button.
