About SSH button
With the SSH button application you can send ssh commands to linux hosts via a button on your android device.
Simply create a new button and add the command you want to sent to the linux device.
You can specify per button:
- Label ( e.g. reboot raspberry or start application )
- Command to sent ( e.g. sudo reboot or sudo service httpd restart)
- ip adres or hostname
- username
- password
- Private key ( optional )
- ssh port
Keep in mind that you only use Linux/Unix commands that return immediately!!

great small app. request: any way to export/import config would help.
So good! My only suggestion would be to allow reordering the buttons by dragging them. Superb! David, thank you for responding. I had tried that, it just opens the properties. UPDATE: drag them quickly, don't hold, that worked
This is the greatest such app I am aware of. I hope you'll be able to update it, the last one is from 2017. Not sure how much longer people will be using it if they consider the app unsafe.
Genius little app. I use it not only for Rpi"s but also Win10 with OpenSSH Server enabled.
Wonderful! So simple! I just wanted to activate-deactivate VPN connections at my router, and it works like a charm. I would have loved to donate or pay something for this, but I don't see how.
Just what I needed to control my Asus router. It works a treat, and widgets are the icing on the cake. Thanks!
