I am trying to login to Android Eee pad transformer from my other linux box using SSH. This are the step i followed and failed. So asking here for the correct answer.

1) Go to Android market and download install Connectbot

  • Launching ConnectBot
  • Asks ssh or telnet or local
  • Press local
  • Asks username
  • Username applied dummy
  • Connected to local Android
  • type ip addr; in the terminal shows ip address and i can ping 8.8.8.8

enter image description here

2) Now i want to access to this box from outside box

  • Go to Android market and install SSDroid and SuperUser
  • Launch SSDroid
  • SSDroid says root:off, sftp://root@ipOfthisAndroidBox:2222 ready
  • From another box i try to login using ssh root@ipOfthisAndroidBox:2222 fails

enter image description here

3) Launch SuperUser it tries to install something but fails

enter image description here

All i get to verify am i rooted, always it shows:

$ su
su: permission denied

Follow up: How do i login after installing SSHDroid?

[sun@example ~]$ ssh [email protected] -p 2222

  • "From other box when i try to login, i cant" isn't enough information. What exactly are you doing from the other box? Have you confirmed that you can ping the phone from the box? Have you investigated SSHDroid's settings?

  • @MatthewRead 1) I installed ConnectBot. And then i did ip addr to see my ip. From my other box i can ping that IP. But i can not do ssh@androidbox. 2) Then i installed SSHDroid, it says sftp://root@thisip:2222 ready 3) once i try that from other box, i also still can not login. 4) i then using ConnectBot tried to su ...; su; su -; sudo; sudo -s; sudo -; but all says "permission denied". How do i solve this? So that i can login from outside to inside Android.

SSHDroid does not need root, it's optional. Every App can bind a socket on an not privileged port (>1024).

I am pretty sure that your ssh client parameters are wrong, the port especially. AFAIK you can't add the port via : to the hostname. Try ssh root@ipofandroid -p 2222 instead.

If you need more verbose output of the ssh binary, start it with -v, -vv or -vvv. This helps to figure out problems.

Your android box running SSHDroid, just activate it.

Your Linux Box (GUI) you can run any SSH FTP compliance (Nautilus, Filezilla, etc...) For ex. I use FileZilla ... just type

  1. on host : sftp://your.android.box.ip-address
  2. on user name : root
  3. on password : admin
  4. on port : 2222

Just select "OK" button whatever appears on your screen.

Note : you must on the same subnet mask and class for it to happen ..
