Is there a drag/drop ssh client for android so I can connect to my home server via ssh and easily transfer files from server to android phone? something like winSCP for Windows?

Isn't there a variant of ConnectBot with support for file transfer added? – imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev Sep 6 '12 at 9:19

ES File Explorer is one that can use the secure FTP protocol over ssh protocol.

To get the settings, from ES File Explorer:

  • Hit menu key, Show Tabs, Local, LAN, FTP, NET appears
  • Tap on FTP
  • Then tap on New that appears underneath, a dialog box will appear prompting the different FTP types, tap on SFTP

enter image description here

  • Enter the details of the ssh server that hosts the secure FTP protocol

  • ES File Explorer will remember the next time, so tap on the server, and then you can browse the file system of the remote server and upload/download files
