Accessing Termux from Putty (in details) OpenSSH
This article is an appendix to the story below. I added the points that I thought could add values to the original article.
All the credits goes to the original article:
- Installing open-ssh
$apt install openssh
2. Start Open-ssh
$sshd
3. Create Public and Private Keys. Leave the settings as default.
$ssh-keygen
4. Copy the Public Key to your own
$cp -r /$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
5. Enable folder access for Termux
$termux-setup-storage
6. Copy the private key to the Download folder and copy it to your laptop.
$cp -r /$HOME/.ssh/ /storage/emulated/0/Download
7. Copy the files to your computer. (I used AirDroid)
8. Open puttygen.exe from Putty folder. We need to create a key that Putty can use.
8.1. {Menu} => Converstions->Import Key
8.2 Select “id_rsa” from your computer.
8.3 Click on “Save private key”. Give it a name like “id_rsa_putty.ppk”
9. Open putty.exe and go to Connection>SSH>Auth
10. Browse for your private key (id_rsa_putty.ppk) and click open.
11. Put the IP address of the mobile device and use 8022 as port number. (You need to replace the IP with yours)
