ConnectBot

The first SSH client for Android.

ConnectBot is a secure shell client for the Android platform. Its ultimate goal is to create a secure connection through which you can use a shell on a remote machine and transfer files back and forth to your phone.

All of us are on the #connectbot channel on Libera.Chat  if you have questions. You can join via Libera.Chat’s webchat  system or your own IRC client.
