Have a media collection that just won't fit on your phone? Mount and stream it with SSHFSAndroid!
Sorry for the long, long wait, everyone – SSHFSAndroid now (experimentally) supports Android 5.0+!
DISCLAIMER: ==================== This is an *ALPHA* release. SSHFSAndroid is a personal side project of mine, not my day job. As such, I am unable to do $X hours of testing on $Y number of different devices. As much as I would like to, I cannot guarantee perfection. Please rate with all of this in mind. If you encounter issues, please send me an email before rating negatively. Thanks! :)
PREREQUISITES: ==================== - busybox (with symlinks) - su (root) - FUSE support (in-kernel or fuse.ko module)
Note: The stock kernels in Android versions >= ICS should have in-kernel FUSE by default. If you are using a custom kernel, you might not!
*** PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP IF YOU HAVE NOT VERIFIED THAT YOUR DEVICE MEETS THE REQUIRED PREREQUISITES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. IN CAPS. ***
FAQ: ====================
Q: Why can't my media player find the files I've mounted with SSHFSAndroid? A: Android's media scanner will not scan remote filesystem mounts. Try using a file-based player that does not rely on Android's media scanner.
Q: Can I use public key authentication? I can't get it to work. A: Public key authentication is supported ("Advanced Options" > "IdentityFile"). However, your key file must not be password-protected and your public key must be copied to your server (typically via ssh-copy-id) beforehand.
Q: How do I use option $X in "Advanced Options"? A: Check man pages for ssh and sshfs for documentation. SSH: http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh SSHFS: http://linux.die.net/man/1/sshfs
Q: Why doesn't option $X in "Advanced Options" work? A: Sorry, but I (probably) don't know. SSHFS has a ton of options; too many for me to test. A lot of options aren't even relevant on Android devices. The advanced options were only included out of posterity and are predominantly untested.
Q: My server listens on a port other than 22. How do I configure that? A: "Advanced Options" > "Port". Easy!
Q: If not /mnt/sdcard, where should I be mounting to? A: Mounting under /system seems to be the most stable. I suggest something like: /system/sshfs/mount_point_here
Recent changes: Version 1.3a (2019-05-19) * Android 6.0+ support * Various bug/security fixes

So useful Works fine on my nexus 7 android 4.2.2 sentinel ROM (based on CM 10 I think) - highly recommend this app, only one with ssh (or indeed any) mounting functionality I've seen! Would be nice if the auto mount option could be set for only wifi and specific SSIDs

Nerd-vana Achieved! I had to downgrade to Android 4.1.2 (CM10). It was worth it though to access my home NAS drive wherever and whenever I want. Not that I don't miss 4.2.2, so I do hope there will be an update soon-ish. This is a great app! Especially considering the minimum space for the Debian Kit is 512MB. Which is the only other way you'll get SSHFS functionality on Android. So here is my network connection path... SSHFSAndroid -> Linux Workstation w/ CIFS Folder Mount -> NAS Server Samba Share Thank you for all the hard work on this and I look forward to the next release!
★★☆☆☆
No longer works. Doesn't work in Android 5.0 Lollipop. This app used to be AWESOME! Unfortunately the app hasn't been updated to work with Android 5.0 Lollipop.
★★☆☆☆
Doesnt work on 4.4 cannot connect to any ssh enabled server on nexus 5 with android 4.4
★★☆☆☆
Unwanted Unmounting Unmounts the SSHFS when Titanium Backup writes to it. I specifically bought this to use with Titanium Backup, and that's the one thing that's most broken with this!
★★☆☆☆
Does not work and I have no idea whether it's because I'm using Android 6 or some other reason as it does not display any logs messages.
