Description

SSHelper is an advanced, multi-protocol, secure server for the Android platform.

SSHelper works just fine with a normal, unrooted Android device — i.e. your device. It also offers special features on rooted devices.

SSHelper works as an application and as a service. As a service it runs in the background, providing secure communications protocols without requiring user attention.

SSHelper supports interactive Secure Shell (hereafter SSH) sessions and various kinds of transfers including scp, sftp, and rsync, on all common platforms:

On Windows, SSHelper works with WinSCP, PuTTY and similar programs.

On Linux, apart from normal SSH shell session activities, SSHelper can be used directly with file browsers for seamless filesystem browsing and transfers by specifying the "sftp:" protocol.

On the Mac, SSHelper works with Cyberduck and similar programs.

SSHelper versions >= 7.8 accepts any network type that Android recognizes -- it's no longer limited to wireless networks.

SSHelper announces itself on your network by way of Zeroconf/Bonjour, an efficient way to configure a local network.

SSHelper includes a log monitor Web server showing an activity log on local network browsers.

SSHelper also includes a clipboard Web server that permits read/write access to the Android clipboard from local network browsers.

SSHelper is free, open-source and there are no ads. It's licensed under the GPL and the source is freely available.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★So great. I now just use a shell script to sync directories between my mac and android phone! A couple improvement suggestions: allow access to external SD cards, don't drain the battery so much.
5 ★I just recently started using this application and I am very happy with its progress. I was able to set up a SSH connection with my Android TV from my laptop with no difficulty. Thank you
5 ★Scripts easy and fast but long text formats and short work encripting scripts too.
5 ★The best option for synchronization via rsync on Android. rsync and ssh is up to date so transfers are secure. Ssh works without interruptions, even when device is locked.
1 ★After updating to the new version for Android 9, the app crashes on launch. Force stopped, cleared cache, cleared storage, same problem.
4 ★Works like a charm! However the local terminal has no job control making e.g. vi pretty useless. I'm sure this has worked before.
1 ★Cannot connect at all. It keeps on saying invalid reply no matter what I type (2222, 8080, 8081, with or without password) even when I removed the password it keeps on saying invalid reply.
5 ★so far.... melancholy perspective with adult contents in story (campaign)& muli / single player mode compatibilities need to be more easily customisable and Incorporating for the average user, offline / & online ...
5 ★Awesome! So many uses, e.g. secure backups via rsync. No-frills, does its job and does it well. Thank you dev!
4 ★Great app for ssh the android and file transfer.
5 ★Great apt. Got my Nexus 6P connected to my kubuntu laptop in minutes with this after spending hours trying with other apts. Thank You.
5 ★Absolute lifesaver, with MTP being useless as ever this is the best way of file transfer, both with rsync and sftp.
