About this app
A Secure Shell (SSH) client for Android that connects to remote servers over a cryptographically secure link.
Features
- SSH connections to remote servers with secure encryption - Built-in terminal emulator maintained by the ConnectBot author - Custom fork of the Trilead SSH-2 Java library for cryptographic operations - Two build variants: Google (uses Google Play Services for cryptography provider upgrades) and OSS (bundles the cryptography provider in the APK)
Note
This is the OSS (Open Source Software) version: it does not depend on Google and includes all the necessary cryptographic providers directly inside the APK file to function securely.

What's new
Host status in the list is now clearer: disconnected hosts show a neutral icon instead of red, which is reserved for authentication failures. - Tapping a host's status icon explains why it disconnected, for example the network was lost, the remote session ended, or you disconnected yourself. - A new amber "Unread output" status appears when a disconnected session has output you haven't seen yet. Open the console to read it. - When a session ends with unread output, the console stays available so you can read the remaining output instead of closing immediately. - Improved SSH authentication failure detection, so a failed login is now reported correctly.
