This client allows you to connect to Secure Shell servers that typically run on UNIX-based servers.

Ratings and reviews

Great, user-friendly app. Have had no issues connecting or staying connected. The stay connected setting is a godsend tbh, makes rebooting my Pi less tedious because I no longer have to ssh into my Pi every time after rebooting. HIGHLY RECOMEND, will be one of the first apps to be installed on future phones I may get. NOTE: images on the Play Store appear to be outdated. The UI has been updated with a more "eye friendly" design since they uploaded the photos

Something has changed where I can no longer copy the public key and there's no way to import my key from my old phone. right now the app is useless until I can copy the public key. Previous:This app works very well as described. I have had no problems connecting to my servers either directly through ssh or through openvpn. My only request is adding SCP capabilities. I'd pay for it.

Recently I needed to download my public ed25519 key. Using the menu would only let me get at the private key. The app has been in the phone for years. I just figured it slipped a bit or something so I un-installed and reinstalled the app. Now I can't create ed25519 keys any more, the option fails. This was probably the best Android app ever until now. You need to fix this Kenny.
