Admin Hand SSH/SFTP/FTP Client

Works good but lots of limitations (FTP). Not as robust as Filezilla on pc. For example can't even do basic things like create a file in ftp, or even copy or move files. Due to the limitations, I'm looking for another app, although it did connect and I could upload files from my phone and create a folder.

very helpful, I truly like the app, I have been using it to access a sandbox to do my school projects on the phone and it provides a very convinient way for me to work away from the computer. The only issue I have with the app is the cursor positioning. When you are typing in the terminal you can't tell what position you are, because the cursor is not position at the begining of the buffer, in this case I am using emacs as the text editor.

I am using it to connect to my raspberry pi whenever I don't have my Laptop booted up. Really helpful. Also gives status of the device. Apart from ssh, SFTP, FTP and telnet also. But the only thign I need is to control the background color. Sometimes it matches with the text color, so becomes difficult to read :)

The app is good, but however, it immediately disconnects when you lose internet instead of sending a keep alive ping to check if there's internet, and if x amount of pings fail, the session should be shown as disconnected. Also SSH immediately disconnects after you leave the application which is very annoying.

Nice interface that's color coded for organizing your machines and stuff. Easy to implement SSH and Tnet both functioned well for me. The app did crash on the (apt list -v) command when I scrolled backwards to see the more of the list but it worked fine when I narrowed the results by letter with (apt list a* -v)

I've been using this for a week and wanted to give it a try before rating. I have to say I'm impressed. I'm on a Galaxy Note 20 connecting to an Ubuntu server and have had zero issues with bugs. SSH runs great and the SFTP function works as expected. I appreciate the UI for it as well. I recommend this app for any administrator that needs immediate access to their machines from wherever internet access is available.

Finally a good SSH app. Loses a star because not being able to re-order hosts is really, really annoying. However everything else seems perfect for SSHing comms cabs, Esc key and other keys missing from android keyboards appear above the keyboard which is what failed me in other apps. Bought lifetime subscription after trying it for a couple weeks. But PLEASE, let me re-order hosts in their groups. Driving me mad.

Pressing CANCEL on recursive folder delete doesn't abort operation (ftp). Editing Hosts has multiple "features". DELETE operation hidden, seems to be no logic about what is in 3 dot menu and what is in long press (and since only in long press, can't select multiple folders to delete). It was supposed to be multithreaded but you can only do 1 (at least user) operation. Can't actually define FTP session characteristics (local, remote directores) so multistep operation to get a session going (no shortcuts).

Nice app, the best so far of those I've tested. One small issue I have to comment. I'm using different languages and have issues displaying all the accents, which is not a deal breaker, but makes reading a bit more challenging. more details ... I'm using Thai language which lives on tones also represented by tone marks ... and these little things hovering over Thai consonants are basically missing ... when using SSH connecting to servers ... a bit geeky, but hey, why not!

Sincerely, it is awfullest app I've used ever! Four places for function buttons and every time you go through ALL of them to find how the heck you could upload a file via sftp. Then you spend the same time to find a menu to close the session! But the last drop was - to use fingerprint unlock you have to buy it. Okay!!! I want to use it as is... with no lock. But NO!!! It asks to create a password when you configure almost every option. And.... yes!!! It locks!!! And it forgets it!!!

Editing a host is a little flaky (says it saved, then asks if you want to save host when you try to exit screen) but it works and has an SFTP client. It's a little annoying that you can leave host password blank and SSH will prompt you, but SFTP fails. You must save a password to use SFTP. But, again, it works fine. Very useful.

Too buggy. On my moto g power, this app's file transfers failed more often than not. Most of the failures were either 'time out on read' or 'control channel unexpectedly closed'. Some transfers that appeared to succeed actually failed to transfer the final few file sectors, creating a corrupted file. None of the multi-file transfers succeeded...most timing out on the 2nd file in the list. A positive for this app is the UI. I found it intuitive and complete for the tasks I attempted.

A really great app! Im a human developer lol and I used to use this app about 2 years ago and it wasn't that great but now!!.. it's surpassed my expectations from what I remember and I will continue to use this! Only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is due to the lack of editing features/options. I would rate this 10 stars if you guys add code intelligence and font colors/themes on the file editors. Other than that, superb application guys, keep up the excellent development!

This is a really well done app, i have a couple of comments, it looks like it's possible to run scripts, and I'd like more information on the format of the scripts. The other thing is, in the terminal, the block cursor is always several characters ahead of the actual next character location, which is distracting.

This app is great for connecting to my compute using ssh or sftp and IPv6. It's pretty easy to set up and use. However, I have noticed a couple of annoying bugs. One, if I click to open a file directly instead of download it, it says permission denied. It's not an issue on the server end since I can download the file. Two, when I rotate my phone and the screen changes, it opens a new connection. I can end up with a lot of connections open just from not holding my phone steady.

YES! FINALLY! AMAZING! This app really under-sells itself! It is absolutely the best! It has a built-in text editor, which has really made it a fantastic tool for me to create and edit PHP/MYSQL/HTML/CSS files! Other "IDE" apps supposedly designed just for that purpose have been terrible! They employ poorly designed interfaces and require "projects" or other unnecessary steps! This couldn't be easier to use: navigate to your ftp file and edit!(Id pay to be able to have mult. text edit windows!)

I downloaded this specifically for SFTP. When you download or upload a file you expect it to run in the background but NOPE! You switch windows, it's interupted you got to start over now. Can you do anything else in the app? nope locked to progress bar with a cancel button. Not even an ETA. You set your phone down or don't touch the screen for 20 secs, interupted got to start over. You gotta upload or download a file that'll take 20 mins? You're in for torture.
