Description
DISCONTINUED

[Overview]

This is a SSH server, based on DropBear.
It allows you to easily install, configure and run a Secured SHell on your Android phone.
SSH is a secured (encrypted) protocol that is used on millions of GNU/Linux servers to issue commands remotely.

This is an Open-Source software released under the GNU GPLv2+.
Review its code at GitHub: https://github.com/shkschneider/android_DropBearServer

[Attention]

THIS REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS
If you don't know what 'root', 'ssh' or 'public key' means, you probably don't need this!

WRITING PROBLEMS ON SDCARDS
Please read
This problem occurs on some devices with multiple sdcard, and cannot be fixed from the application's side for now...

[Features]

* You will be able to gain shell access, just like 'adb shell'
* You will be able to put/pull files via 'scp' or similar

This rich front-end to DropBear allows you to easily configure tons of things:

* Allows full root access (optional)
* Allows non-root access (sdcard read/write)
* Installs DropBear
* Starts/Stops the server
* Manage credentials (publickeys or master password)
* Loads public keys from SDCard

Now you will have full control of your device!

[Will It Conflict With Other Binaries]

Up to version 1.7, it might.
From 1.8 and up, it won't :)

[How To Connect From Computer]

* Windows
- File transfer: WinSCP
- Shell access: PuTTY
* Linux
- File transfer: 'scp' command from terminal
- Shell access: 'ssh' command from terminal
* Mac
- File transfer: Cyberduck, 'scp' command from terminal
- Shell access: 'ssh' command from terminal

Note: You should have ls linked to busybox or have the bash shell by default for some of those programs to work (because of ls' expected output).

[How To Add Public Keys]

* Put your public key on your sdcard
* In the Settings panel, click on "Public Keys" to open a built-in file explorer
* Click on a public key file to review and add it
* You can remove a public key by clicking on it in the Settings panel.

Comments on (Discontinued) SSH Server for Android

★★★★★ Works Perfectly But Not Out of The Box So far, IMHO this is the best SSH server on android. Simply beautiful and intuitive UI. Strangely does not work out of the box, seems the app failed to put the dropbear and dropbearkey in the /system/xbin. Only the scp binary was there after installation (and granting root access). I have to manually put the dropbear and dropbearkey binary in the /system/xbin because it's nowhere to be found in my system. Other than small problem above, this application works perfectly! Edit: The dropbear and dropbearkey binary can be found inside the apk, you'll need root explorer / LCG X-Plore app to do this. Simple extract them from the res/raw directory in the apk and put them in /system/sbin. Set the permission to 755 and it works like charm.
★★★★★ working fine, need support for winscp/filezilla It's running nicely in my tab plus cm9. I'm able to login using putty, but failed to fetch folder content if I'm login using winscp. Maybe need to tweak winscp config to accomodate this ssh server
★★★★★ Does exactly what i want This is a great app, i love it. It does exactly what i want, which is to give me ssh access to my phone. Theres only one slight annoyance but its really not a big deal, i cant set the port to be 22. I can change which port the server is on but i cant change it to a number below 1000, which is a problem i have experienced in other apps as well, so no hard feelings this app will do the job!
★★★★★ Nice and free Love it nice UI and does what it says Would be nice to see sftp added Keep up the good work
★★☆☆☆ AVOID! Changing the password has NO EFFECT (a serious security problem). Dropbear was already installed but the stupid thing insisted it wasn't, then changed it's mind when I removed Dropbear! Stopping the server has NO EFFECT! Key coding are completely incorrect. Removed and now I have to figure out why my phone is saying the internal storage is full. You may as well install a trojan virus.
★★☆☆☆ It's a good start Installs fine. Runs as SSH fine. Documentation missing - no description on how to upload private keys (even though it says in the description that it supports it), also some of the other functionality isn't obvious (assume root access?) also no SFTP-support. It's a good start, but needs a bit more work to be usable.
★★☆☆☆ Hangs on tf101 Loads, runs and listens. Connection to Asus TF101 gets the dropbear greeting, but then it hangs with data still in the incoming connection (as viewed from adb + netstat).
