Android SSH client (lemmy.world)

Hi! I'm looking for an SSH client for Android, but open source. Termius is great, but it's closed source and has its subscription-based pricing model, so it's out. I use ConnectBot rn but it's buggy and looks awful. Would you recommend any?

Just use Termux and install the openssh package. You can also install mosh, which is better than vanilla ssh.

Does this require a rooted phone to install packages in Termux?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

no, it works fine on my non-rooted phone.

No, they're android apk packages and the main app recognize them just fine, root is only need for making system changes with it

Thanks for suggesting mosh! I use termux a lot for ssh, and mosh looks like it will fix some of my biggest issues with it. Mainly losing connection when switching networks.
