Works as needed! My type c port got broken on my old phone(good thing i can still charge) and thus data swapping wasnt possible. So this app saved me from loosing data!

As far as I can tell, this is one of the only ssh server apps in the the Play store. It works for me, and I'm happy for it. Together with a sftp client, it allows me to easily keep my music library on my phone, something that is stupidly difficult otherwise. That being said, the application is pretty, um, ugly, and a little rough. Exiting, for example, seems always to crash it. I'd love to see it improved!

Great app, but one very important feature to me doesn't want to work on my nVidia Shield TV box - auto start of the SSH server. Every time I reboot my box, the SSH server shows as not running or not able to accept connections. I keep all options to auto start the server enabled, but still they don't auto start it after reboot. If this is not fixed in the near future I'll be switching to the similar apps from other providers where auto start feature works 100% on my box. Other than that, it's a very useful, good working and practical tool.
