I have connectbot in my Android Phone (GT-N7000). How can I access a PC through that app ? I tried to use putty to establish ssh in my PC but it didn't work well. Can anyone give my a solution to this problem?

1You didn't really provide enough information to enable us giving good answers: what OS is running on your PC? What are you trying to achieve?– IzzyCommented May 17, 2014 at 23:47

OK, that's already one point (I've added the corresponding tag to your question). Still lacking: What are you trying to achieve? Windows doesn't run an SSH server by default, so you won't have much luck with ConnectBot here without taking care for a counter-part on your PC. Maybe a different solution is more suitable?– IzzyCommented May 18, 2014 at 13:36

Glad to read I was able to help! So maybe I should make that an answer with some more details?– IzzyCommented May 19, 2014 at 5:41

I guess there's some trouble in your conception: Connectbot is an SSH client, while Windows does not ship with an SSH server pre-installed. So unless you've installed some SSH server there yourself (details on that part are beyond the scope of this site), you won't have much luck connecting.
You didn't exactly write what you want to achieve, but there are different solution to connect your Android device to control your PC. As shipped, Windows supports the Remote Desktop Protocol (aka RDP), for which several Android clients exist. The page behind this link lists up some of them. Other than with Connectbot, this will be in graphical mode, not command-line.
A general solution (valid for other OSes as well) could also be using VNC. Again, this would require a server software to be installed on your PC, a corresponding client app on your Android device (also to be found on the mentioned list), and it would be in graphical mode.
An easy solution is to use TeamViewer
Easy to setup if you want a quick working solution. Plus it works with Mac/Windows/Linux.
