SSH Server
We recommend that you use SSH Server from Termux instead of using it in a Linux environment. Using an SSH Server from Termux gives you control of both your device and your Linux OS. We are providing you both the methods for the same down below-
SSH via Termux
You can follow this (opens in a new tab) link to get to know the process of using SSH from Termux. This tutorial is provided officially by one of Termux developers.
SSH via Linux
Since Linux is executed by using PRoot, it cannot override the default configurations of the Android connectivity, so the port number needs to be changed. Follow the below steps to use SSH from Termux:
Install OpenSSH
Install openSSH inside Linux. Choose the command for your distro accordingly from the given list:
Ubuntu 20
apt install openssh-server nano -y
Ubuntu 18
apt install openssh-server nano -y
Kali Linux
apt install openssh-server nano -y
Debian
apt install openssh-server nano -y
Manjaro
pacman -S openssh nano --noconfim
Arch
pacman -S openssh nano --noconfim
Fedora
dnf install -y openssh-server nano
Alpine
apk add openssh-server nano
Void
xbps-install openssh nano
Modifications
Once OpenSSH server is installed on your Linux system, we need to modify some things to make it accessible in network escaping Android limitations. Now execute-
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Find and change the line
#Port 22
toPort 2222
- Find the line
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
or#PermitRootLogin yes
and change it toPermitRootLogin yes
. If it is alreadyPermitRootLogin yes
then you do not need to change anything. - Now when you are done with all the above steps press
CTRL+X
and then typeY
and then pressEnter
Generate Keys
Now run
ssh-keygen -A
and then
ssh-keygen
Password
Now we need to set password first. To set password type
passwd
and set any password.
Start SSH Server
Once this process is complete, just run
/usr/sbin/sshd
to start the SSH server.
Connect
Now just type
ip a
and copy the IP Address of wlan
and to connect to SSH Server. To connect to SSH server type
ssh root@localhost -p 2222
and use the password to connect to the server.
