SSH into Android with Termux

by Abbas · 10.07.2024

Install Termux from Fdroid or any APK sites
you dont have to install Fdroid, you can directly download Termux APK

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/

  1. Open Termux on your Android phone
  2. Install OpenSSH:
    pkg upgrade
    pkg install openssh
  3. Set up a password:
    passwd
  4. Find your username by running this in Termux:
    whoami

    Save this username for later. Might look like u0_a1310

  5. Find the host by running this in Termux: (not working anymore)
    ifconfig

    Look for something like inet addr:192.168.0.4
    Save this value for later.
    Look on your phone wifi information, find the local ip.

  6. Start the ssh server on Termux:
    sshd

    Verify that it’s running with:

    logcat -s 'ssh:*'

    You should see something like “Server listening on port 8022”

  7. On your computer, SSH into your machine on port 8022 (default port):
    ssh u0_a1310@192.168.1.4 -p8022
  8. Type in your password and viola! You’re accessing Termux from your computer.
