Android передача файлов ssh

Запускаем SSH сервер на Android устройстве с использованием Termux

У меня часто бывают ситуации, когда мне приходится исправлять или дополнять свой код с чужого ПК. Однако, не на всех рабочих станциях есть мое рабочее окружение. Также, установка нужных компонентов, а потом их удаление занимает лишнее время. Поэтому мне в голову пришла идея — сделать удаленное рабочее окружение, которое всегда будет рядом.

С этим мне решил помочь Termux.

Из названия статьи вы скорее всего поняли, о чем сейчас пойдет речь. Однако, сразу хочу предупредить, что данный способ может подойти не всем.

Итак, приступим.

Нам понадобится сам эмулятор терминала Linux — Termux. Это отличное мобильное приложение, которое подходит не только для сервера, но и для других целей.

Изначально нужно установить OpenSSH пакет.

Далее, нужно сгенерировать ключ для подключения к нашему серверу.

В директории .ssh создалось два файла — id_rsa и id_rsa.pub . Копируем содержимое файла id_rsa.pub в файл authorized_keys .

Теперь мы можем запустить сервер и к нему может подключиться любой, у кого есть ключ. Для запуска сeрвeра используется команда.

Если вам надо посмотреть включен сервер или выключен.

Подключение к серверу с помощью PuTTY.

Мы запустили сервер и теперь нам надо к нему подключиться. Сперва нужно скопировать ключ в память Android устройства, чтобы потом его можно было скопировать на машину, с которой мы будем подключаться. Для этого, нужно дать доступ к памяти устройства.

Далее, копируем ключ в память.

После этого, копируем файл на машину.

Теперь нам понадобится PuTTYgen.
Запускаем программу и загружаем файл, нажимая на кнопку Load. После этого сохраняем приватный ключ (save private key) в формате *.ppk.

Отлично, теперь у нас есть ключ. Осталось только подключиться.

Скачаем сам PuTTY.
Запускаем его. В поле IP адреса вводим локальный адрес нашего Android устройства. Чтобы посмотреть локальный адрес, нужно зайти в Termux и ввести команду.

В разделе wlan0 будет написан локальный IP адрес.

В поле порта вводим стандартный порт для ssh сервера — 8022. Далее, переходим в SSH → Auth и нажимаем кнопку Browse.

Находим тот файл, который сохранили в формате *.ppk, и нажимаем Open. После запуска нажимаем Enter.

Все, мы подключились.

Далее вы можете настроить ваше окружение и подключаться к нему в любое время.

SSH клиенты для смартфонов

На самом деле, все мобильные SSH-клиенты позволяют делать то же самое: подключиться по SSH к серверу. Друг от друга они отличаются тем, насколько удобны они в использовании на мобильном устройстве. Ведь клавиатура на мобильном устройстве имеет свои особенности, основное её предназначение переписка и набор коротких сообщений, а не кодирование. Даже набирать — и / стандартной iOS-клавиатуре довольно сложно, так как требуется нажать три кнопки.

Хорошие мобильные SSH-клиенты упрощают этот процесс. Например, Termius — очень популярный бесплатный SSH-клиент для iOS и Android. Интерфейс самого терминала предоставляет обычную клавиатуру, а над ней расположены элементы управления, которые не часто используются на обычной мобильной клавиатуре. Например, для часто используемой клавиши-модификатор Ctrl у Termius есть отдельная кнопка рядом с Esc . Так же в командной строке часто используются тире и косые черты / , поэтому под них также выделены отдельные клавиши, что сильно упрощает процесс набора.

Вне терминала тоже интерфейс очень функциональный: удобное создание новых SSH ключей, а также есть опция передачи ключей на Macbook, для последующего добавления в список authorized_keys на сервере.

Termius доступен бесплатно для платформ iOS и Android, но такие функции как вкладки, переброс агента SSH, SFTP подключение доступно только Pro версии, подписка на которую стоит $8 в месяц.

Prompt — это премиум-клиент для iOS, который сочетает в себе множество полезных функций. Он имеет тот же дизайн панели быстрого доступа, что и Termius, но может меняться в зависимости от приложения.

Это приложение также поддерживает сохранение часто используемых команд как шорт-каты, что освобождает от постоянного ввода одних и тех же команд. Оно стоит 15 долларов, но это разовая цена и включает все премиум функции.

Mosh является альтернативой SSH и построен специально для мобильных пользователей, так как использует UDP. Традиционное SSH ожидает ответа сервера перед тем, как отображать введенные символы, что сильно раздражает при подключениях с большим временем задержки. В то время как 4G имеет хорошую среднее время отклика — 50 мс, то при соединении по 3G, задержка может вырасти до более чем 300 мс. Mosh помогает обходить это ограничение, и значительно уменьшает время отклика:

Кроме этого, Mosh не разрывает соединение, если интернет оборвался, что часто случается с мобильным интернетом. В любом случае, можно использовать tmux или screen, но иметь под рукой Mosh, который поддерживает эту функцию «из коробки» очень удобно.

Mosh как опция включена в Termius и Blink. А вот интеграции с Prompt нет, так как последняя не распространяется свободно.

Используйте tmux или screen для непрерывной работы

После установления соединения нужно подключиться к tmux или screen. Tmux терминальный мультиплексор, который позволяет запускать несколько терминальных сессий в одном окне. Также он дает возможность отключаться от сессии при том, не завершая его на сервере. Таким образом, откуда угодно можно подключиться к запущенной сессии. Например, можно запустить сессию на компьютере, а потом подключиться к ней со смартфона.

Если tmux не установлен, сделать это можно командой:

А затем, дело за малым: создано новую сессию и задать ей имя:

После этого в нижней части окна появится строка состояния, которая указывает на то, что вы работаете в tmux. Чтобы отключиться от сессии введите команду:

Или просто нажмите комбинацию клавиш Ctrl+B , а затем D , но может быть неудобно делать это на смартфоне. Вместо этого можно использовать команду exit .

Сессия продолжает выполняться на сервере; запущенные программы, журнал команд и все остальное продолжают выполняться в фоновом режиме, даже если вы не подключены к сети.

Для повторного подключения к сеансу используйте:

В некоторых SSH-клиентах, таких как Prompt, можно задать команду startup , которая будет выполняться при подключении к ней. Таким образом, если на сервере запущен сеанс tmux, к которому всегда подключаетесь, используйте команду startup для автоматического подключения.

Андроид у тебя 4.2.х или старше?
Настрой SSHDroid НЕ НА 22 порт, а, например, на 2222.
Этот же совет работает, если телефон не рутирован. Тоже 22-й порт надо поменять на другой.

PS: Важное дополнение: если у тебя прошивка рутированная, то для работы SSHDroid надо не только сменить номер порта, а еще ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО запретить SSHDroid’у рутовые права. При первом запуске SSHDroid’a вылезет портянка Superuser с вопросом дать ли запущенной программе права рута. Надо ответить НЕТ. Иначе работать не будет. Будет вот такое выдавать:

Top 10 Android SSH Client – Best PuTTY Alternative for Android

PuTTY is one of the most sought Secure Shell (SSH) Clients in the world. Also, it is a popular terminal client and communication software that is used to make remote connections. It supports many iterations of the secure remote terminal. PuTTY is also a great terminal emulator and supports emulation sequences from VT102, VT220 and xterm. While it is one of the oldest terminal clients, it is still widely trusted and used.

One of the downsides of PuTTY is that it does not support many of the modern features such as a tabbed interface. Therefore, developers also sought for PuTTY alternatives for Windows.

However, PuTTY is an application for the Windows operating system and does not work on the most widely used mobile operating system – Android.

Therefore, below was have listed the top ten SSH clients or PuTTY alternative for the Android operating system. PuTTY has various clients such as the key generation utility – PuTTYgen, the SCP client – PSCP, the SFTP client – PSFTP and Telnet client – PuTTYtel. As such, our list of alternatives for PuTTY features applications that not only offer as an alternative SSH client but also covers the majority of the functions of the PuTTY components.

Before we get into details, it is necessary to understand what SSH is and its primary uses.

SSH is a standard cryptographic network protocol that is leveraged to operate network services over the unsecured network securely. SSH was designed as a replacement of Telnet – a protocol that offers bidirectional text-based interactions facility over the internet.

With SSH, one can remotely access servers via SSH channels that assure complete security. Also, users can also remotely access most of the devices on the same network. Moreover, the cryptographic network protocol is also used for port forwarding or tunnelling. It is common knowledge that SSH is the best for secure connections.

Best SSH Clients for Android

There are tons of applications on Android that are excellent Secure Shell Clients as well as PuTTY alternatives. However, our list only features the best ten apps that can fit the requirement of most.
