ConnectBot: SSH & Mosh client

Take your remote terminal with you. ConnectBot lets you access your Linux servers, Raspberry Pi, and remote development machines from Android using SSH or Mosh.

Check a service, run commands, or work in your server’s command-line tools wherever you have a connection. Keep multiple terminal sessions open and switch between them as you work.

BUILT FOR MOBILE USE

• Use Mosh to keep working through temporary network interruptions and changes between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Mosh requires mosh-server on the remote machine.
• Copy commands and terminal output, including scrollback, between ConnectBot and other apps.
• Use dedicated terminal controls for keyboard shortcuts.
• Customize your terminal with profiles.

SSH TOOLS FOR YOUR SERVERS

• Save connections for the servers you use regularly.
• Authenticate using passwords or SSH keys.
• Create local and remote SSH port forwards to access network services through your SSH connection.
• Automate tasks after logging in.
