Ssh Server - File Transfer & Command Line Interface
"Ssh server" is an Android application that enables secure file transfers using SCP and SFTP protocols. It features a command line interface (in beta) and allows users to start and stop the SSH server through specific intents. For automated starting, you can use tools like Autostart and StaY! or Tasker. Compatible with popular file transfer tools like WinSCP and FileZilla, and command line access via Putty, this app is essential for seamless file management between your Android device and PC.

It really works on Android 9! I tested with 'Mobile SSH' client, installed on Android 12, thus 😎

Mikolaj Trzaska, 2022-07-13Seems to only support old dss encryption and rsync fails to connect with an odd error. Not useful

Matt K, 2022-06-17It does the job. Be aware dss algorithm will need to give it as an option. Example: ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss 192.168.1.X -p 2222⁴
