ssh/terminal on Android phone
While searching for SSH client for my Nexus 5X, I discovered 'Termux'. I was expecting another SSH app. But, what I got was Linux terminal as the first screen. Interesting! I had to generate keys (ssh-keygen), and copy them to my computer (tar -cf - id_rsa id_rsa.pub | nc 1.2.3.4 1234). Which SSH client do you use on your phone? -- William

I like JusicSSH[0] it's free with a Pro version (that offers "secure cloud sync") that I don't use. [0]: <https://juicessh.com/> -- Have an awesome day, and happy open-sourcing :-).

ConnectBot - https://connectbot.org/ It's very old, but maintained and works. Stewart

ServerAuditor, to which I switched after one too many flaky problems with ConnectBot. It has several useful features: tabbed sessions, an integral scp client (with the cheap paid subscription), OS identification, and so on. I also use it on my tablet. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-978-3311 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
| From: William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Which SSH client do you use on your phone? I use connectbot. I shudder at the security implications of using an Android app, with unknown provenance, for ssh. After all, I'm giving it the keys to my kingdom. Connectbot is open source and used by many, so it is more trustable than most. Unfortunately it doesn't have file transfer capability. For that I use VX connectbot and cringe a bit. Android culture seems to think privacy compromises are an implicit part of the deal when you install an app.
