If you look for advice on an ssh client for Android you will invariably be told to install ConnectBot. Unfortunately, this program terminates ssh connections as soon as it makes them on my Nook Simple Touch. Therefore it cannot be used. KBOX Terminal doesn't work on it either. I don't want to install full Debian. What's left? SSHDroid is your answer; if you install a terminal emulator so you can get to it. SSHDroid is powered by dropbear, and it includes the ssh client.
In order to actually run it create a script with the full path. You can find it with:
find -name ssh
Or you can just run `find -name ssh` user@host to get up and going right away.
I don't know why ConnectBot doesn't work on this system, but perhaps it is crap. Since all ssh clients on android seem to be powered by dropbear anyway, this is the best solution.
Connectbot works fine on my nook touch software version 1.0.1. Extremely small font, but works.
You can adjust font size by pressing volume buttons.
Hello.
If interesting I make Android-NDK dynamic ssh-dropbear-ssh-client only. See
