It is recommended that SSH Server should be used from Termux instead of using it inside the Linux. Using SSH Server from Termux gives you control of both your device and your Linux OS. We are providing you both the methods below:
You can follow this link to get to know the process of using SSH from Termux. This tutorial is provided officially by one of the Termux developers.
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 inside Linux. Choose the command for your distro accordingly from the given list:
apt install openssh-server nano -y
apt install openssh-server nano -y
apt install openssh-server nano -y
apt install openssh-server nano -y
pacman -S openssh nano --noconfim
pacman -S openssh nano --noconfim
dnf install -y openssh-server nano
apk add openssh-server nano
xbps-install openssh nano
Once OpenSSH server is installed in your Linux system, we need to modify some things to make it accessible in network escaping Android limitations. Now do:
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find and change the line #Port 22
to Port 2222
Find the line #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
or #PermitRootLogin yes
and change it to PermitRootLogin yes
. If it is already PermitRootLogin yes
then you do not need to change anything.
Now when you are done with all the above steps press CTRL+X and then type Y and then press Enter
Now do ssh-keygen -A
and then ssh-keygen
Now we need to set password first. To set password type passwd
and set any password.
Once this process is complete just run /usr/sbin/sshd
to start the SSH server.
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 [email protected] -p 2222
and use the password to connect to the server.
