SSHDroid

I had all kinds of problems trying to copy files from my Linux Mint 19 computer to my external SD card. I finally gave up and plugged it into my compuer's USB port, then simply dragged and dropped the 4 files I wanted to copy to my Android One cell phone.

The app does what it says. Transferring files between phone & computer is easy & cable free. Try filezilla on the computer end.

much improved - this was buggy and unstable for a long time, and now it's a rock. really outstanding.

exactly what I need to get a quick shell on my phone. Yes there's ads but they're not obnoxious. Excellent app.

I tried importing my key but i get an error 'string too long.' its a normal ppk key. i spent $3 on the pro version but it doesnt work.

Great app. Had a small issue where it wouldn't let me restore my Pro purchase but seemed to fix itself later on

Requires Wi-Fi, if you need wifi you could just use adb over wifi and not even need an app.

It worked fine until andriod pie, it now disconnects after it accepts a good password.

not working : connection reset by peer

not bad but needs more free tools.

must have app.

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.

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.

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.

I've heard good things about this app & it is priced cheap as hell. The only reason I'm making this as four stars is the fact that when setting a password, the password is visible, e.g. not set as a true ''password'' field. So if you copy a secure password via KeepassDroid or some other tool, if someone is shoulder-surfing you (or, depending on how this password is stored, I guess), someone can easily see it. Once that's fixed (unless there's a reason for it I'm misunderstanding), this app is 5+ stars. I like how simple it is to setup otherwise.

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).

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

Doesn't seem to work at all. Neither sftp nor a regular SSH login. Just connection refused, using other computers on the same subnet. Tried the DroidSSHd (not on the Play store AFAICT) that another user suggested, and that works flawlessly.

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

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"

Used it to remove some really annoying nagging app that came with the phone. Correction. It worked exactly once. All successive attempts to connect would result in the app freezing and stopping. I reinstalled it but there was no way to connect.

When I run ssh -R and try to connect it crashes and exits. when I don't use -R it works (-L works too) using generic ssh client from mac. logs said "Alee segfault! You should probably report this as a bug to the developer"

I already own the pro unblocker, but the app guided me to another in app pro purchase on a new device. This is not correct, even though the price is more than fair. I think of it as some kind of donation, but donating by own choice is far nicer.

Works great. No muss no fuss. Love that it displays the connect string ([email protected].....) 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?

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

Crappy shareware, can't even support host key auth in the free version. Keep away if you're looking for a free ssh server alternative
