Hey! Would you mind guiding me as to what is going on in this picture? Is this an APP that allowed to SSH into your server? You got my attention with this picture, and I’m curious to hear more.
It’s Termux, basically a fully fletched terminal for Android. So you can install various tools via apt, and use them, for example yt-dlp, ffmpeg, gcc, python etc. And yes, you can also use SSH, both as server and client. I use it very often to connect to my servers on the go.
You can even use chroot to basically run a distro of your choice.
I like using syncthing. It syncs all my apps that are backed up with neobackup, my pictures, files etc. to my NAS. Then my NAS runs borg on that directory as well as all the other important NAS directories to make the legit backups.
I have termux installed but I honestly rarely use it. Hate typing on the phone in the terminal… if I need to do it then I’ll just adb connect from my computer and do it from there on a real keyboard.
The font in the screenshot makes me angry.

Damn, that sound pretty cool, thanks for the info!
It’s also incredibly useful to backup /sdcard via rsync or Borg every night automatically
Or access the contents of your phone via SFTP
