Description

SSHDroid is a SSH server implementation for Android.
This application will let you connect to your device from a PC and execute commands (like "terminal" and "adb shell") or edit files (through SFTP, WinSCP, Cyberduck, etc...).

If you like this application, you can consider supporting it by upgrading to the pro version with more feature like:
- Extended notification controls
- Homescreen and lockscreen widget
- Shared-key authentication
- WiFi autostart whitelist
- Automation with intents support
- AdFree

FAQs:
q: How can I access to my device once the application is running?
a:
Windows users:
- File Transfer: WinSCP (http://winscp.net).
- Remote Shell: PuTTY (http://goo.gl/XbTF)

Linux users:
- File Transfer: natively supported by most file managers (like Nautilus or Dolphin), just enter the sftp address displayed as "Location".
- Remote Shell: run 'ssh' from the terminal.

Mac users:
- File Transfer: Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch).
- Remote Shell: run 'ssh' from the terminal

q: How can I upgrade to the pro version?
a: If you previously purchased SSHDroidPro on Google Play, the new version will automatically detect it and upgrade to pro otherwise you can unlock it as in-app purchase.

q: Why my transfer speed decrease when I turn off the screen?
a: Enable the option 'Lock Wifi'. If your device is running at least Android 2.3.x, you should get full speed transfer even when the screen is off, otherwise enable the option 'Lock screen' too.

q: How can I use a shared key with Putty/Winscp?
a: You have to generate a key from the application in OpenSSH format and use Puttygen to import/convert it in ppk format. A recent version of Puttygen (>= 0.61) is required!

q: Is root required to run this application?
a: root is optional but not required.

q: How can I automate the application start/stop?
a:
Use the following broadcast intents:
start: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.START
stop: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.STOP

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 ★+1ed. Sftp over WiFi/adb USB. Ssh to shell with more commands that android shell doesn't have (vi, etc.)
4 ★Great app, only bug that annoys me is that it breaks the connection when I go to Settings->Apps for some reason
5 ★This app is extremely useful for managing an Android system via the underlying shell interface. Very handy for securely transferring files over a wireless or Ethernet network.
1 ★Can't use desktop keys. Won't let me set sdcard as the target directory. Waste of $2.
3 ★Works great, when it's running. Any Wi-Fi event (associate, disassociate, turn on, turn off) causes it to stop. I've tried every combination of the Wi-Fi settings in the options to no avail.
1 ★Does not work due to not being fixed for modern Android versions that require PIE
1 ★Without root: read only With root: can't even sign in Quite useless
1 ★I try to connect to Ubuntu OS, but doesn't work😞
4 ★Nice port of the Dropbear ssh server implementation. Would get 5 stars if it supported the ssh -X option for seamless X11 tunnelling..
5 ★Great app! It's a big help to copy files via ssh to the phone when I do not have a USB-C cable around.
5 ★Could not test it because it looks for wifi when my android box has wired ethernet. Great customer support, and my aforementioned issue was resolved :)
1 ★Unlock this feature! Pay just $49 and get (constructive) criticism from a user. (this is not a review, this is a satire on, and a message to app author)
