Hello,
ServerAuditor application is available on Google Play now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.server.auditor.ssh.client). We released it a couple of days ago. We are linux developers mostly and sometimes would like to have remote access through remote devices. This is initial release and more features are coming. Client is implemented from scratch and it isn't a clone of some opensource SSH client implementations.
We appreciate any feedback which would have to make our application easier to use as we believe it is possible to have convenient mobile SSH client.
Version 1.4
It's been a while since my latest update. Now we completely reworked the UI and added several features like port forwarding. Please also note that an app has a new URL in the market.
Version 1.2
- Aliases are finally available.
- A lot of new cool color schemes.
- Incredible copy-paste implementation. Allows instant search of copied buffer in Google or Serverfault.
- A lot of bug fixes and improvements.
- Colours support and connection grouping
- SSH scripting and ability to execute one command on several servers for easy cluster managment
- Port forwarding
- Smart command and filesystem navigation (we aren't 100% sure how we will exactly implement this, so some tests needed, any ideas are appreciated).
Version 1.1
- Full xterm support
- Incredible improvement of the rendering speed!
- Close all connections functionality
- Various UI improvements
- New option 'Background connection's timeout'
- Hackers keyboard is supported
- Redesigned help page
- Bug fixes for certain Android devices
Version 1.0.2
- Crash on Nexus fixed
- Import keys functionality implemented
Version 1.0.1
- We tried to make access to control keys more convenient than in existing SSH clients
- Meta-actions (like shake for CTRL-C and Volume buttons are used).
- Easy connection and keys management.
- Gestures like swipe up/down/left/right are used for replacing corresponding terminal buttons.
We would like to know which features by your opinion are most important and shortcomings of current version
Thank you for your time!
Dmitriy.
Please check for new update.
BEST ssh client out there! Much better, much more up to date than Connectbot.
Thanks, Jewremy!
We have just published Server Auditor in Amazon app market (http://www.amazon.com/Crystalnix-Se...qid=1344677892&sr=8-1&keywords=server+auditor).
Are there any plans to support Tasker and/or Intents, so the SSH client can be launched, connected before Tasker (or any other automation program) launches a task? Being able to disconnect and close the client would be crucial as well (this last part is something ConnectBot can't handle afaik).
Hi, ppc_dan.
We are going to release next version with support of terminal colors soon. At the moment we have several feature requests (like scripting support, grouping, etc). Thank you for your suggestion, I think we will try to implement Tasker support within our scripting support task.
ServerAuditor has gained a huge update. Please find the most significant changes below:
Version 1.1
- Full xterm support
- Incredible improvement of the rendering speed!
- Close all connections functionality
- Various UI improvements
- New option 'Background connection's timeout'
- Hackers keyboard is supported
- Redesigned help page
- Bug fixes for certain Android devices
Enjoy!
This is a great app. My only suggestions are to add the ability to use aliases. It would be nice since a lot of my connections are also remote connections with a FQDN so they all look the same but the port.
Also I'm trying to add keys but i cant seem to figure it out. I have tried to attach both a public key and a private key. (created by puTTy) with no success.
Thanks again for the app.

I have the same problem. I've imported a private key that is in OpenSSH format and attached it to a connection. Authentication fails and falls back to asking for password. The same key works great when using Bitvise on my laptop.

Might have to do with version of Android. My original HTC Desire with 2.2 won't work. But my Transformer with 4.x works with the exact same key.

Great work. I still cant get keys to import, but i love the aliases. It always says invalid filetype. Keep it up. This is test best ssh app available.

Port Forwarding
in the OP it says that Port Forwarding is possible.
Can someone explain how I do this? I can't find the setting anywhere...
thanks!
For the last six months we've been working on an SSH app and after a lot of hard work and sleepless nights coding - we've hit publish on the Play Store!
As a pair of full-time linux based systems administrators we spend our lives inside SSH sessions, looking after a large number of servers in and out of office hours. Like most android users we used Connectbot and while it's awesome, we found ourselves getting frustrated with it's lack of functionality in areas and started writing an app that suited our needs better.
Over time our little SSH client grew and grew functionality-wise and JuiceSSH was born...

Excellent SSH client! The layout and functionality makes working on remote machines very easy and efficient.
I have one issue: In some instances the Enter/Return key is not recognised. One easy way to replicate this is by editing a file with nano and then attempting to save it. It just doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks again for the wonderful app!

Hi,
Thanks for the kind feedback.
We are currently aware of an issue that specifically affects nano, where the enter key is not recognised.
We're looking into it and hopefully will have a fix included in an update soon.
Thanks!
Hi. I am having trouble using an RSA public key with juiceSSH. I know it's not Juice's fault, as I can't use the id_rsa.pub with connectbot either - just thought I'd ask here for any ideas as i'm stuck.
I generate the keys on a Win XP box, using openssh (the cygwin version). OpenSSH itself is running fine (I can connect using passwords). Here's the keygen output:
C:\OpenSSH\bin>ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa):
/home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [email protected]
I then copied the id_rsa.pub file to /sdcard on my galaxy note, and tried to add it to my existing identity in Juicessh. I chose "file Path" and after typing id_ the full file name id_rsa.pub appeared. I touched that to select it then hit "OK" but nothing happens. I can only leave this screen by hitting cancel. I then tried to paste in the contents of the file, and that is permitted. But, wehn I try to connect using it, juicessh says "invalid file".
I've regenerated the key a couple of times, always with same results. As I say, the same file is also rejected by connectbot ("problem parsing imported private key").
So it appears that ssh-keygen on my XP box is producing an invalid file format (but that seems wildly unlikely??). I wondered if it was a DOS->Linux file format issue (cr vs cr/lf) but I haven't seen anything online suggestign that a file format conversion is needed if copying keys from Windows to Linux?
How can I track down what's wrong & why?

If your key is valid, the 'Smart Search' in JuiceSSH should find the key (regardless unix/windows line endings of where it is on your sdcard).
If it's not - then it does suggest your key is invalid.
The fact that when you paste in the key on your android device, it still shows as invalid suggests that it's more than just a line endings issue.
I'm afraid I don't have a windows box here to test with.
Can you confirm that the first line of your key contains -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- or -----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Thanks
Hi, thanks for taking the time to have a look!
The private id_rsa file, which resides in ~home/graeme/.ssh on the XP box, has the -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY ----- header. The public id_rsa.pub simply has ssh-rsa at the start.
However I think I may be very confused. My need is to connect from my android phone over ssh to my XP "server" which is running openssh. I can currently do this using password authentication, and I want to use keys instead. I have generated public/private RSA keys using ssh-keygen on the XP box, and then copied the public key it generated onto the android phone and tried to import it.
Should I actually be generating the keys on the phone and then copying the public one to the PC? If so, what do I need on Android to do this (I'm not rooted).

Ahh ok - makes more sense now.
You need the private key on the phone (id_rsa).
The public key needs to be copied to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ( cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) on your windows XP box.
Now linux is very fussy about the permissions on this authorized_keys file - although not sure if windows will be.
On Linux the .ssh directory must be 700 and the authorized_key file 600.
Let me know how you get on.
Paul
Many thanks Paul, I've got it working now (though I feel like a plonker!). Cheers for the help, you saved me a lot of time

If it makes you feel any better, getting the private/public keys mixed up is a really common problem! It's not just you
I have set up such keys in the past successfully from the same XP box to my old Nokia N900 (even managed to set up reverse tunnel so that I could login to phone from PC wherever it happened to be whilst on 3G) so I *should* know what I'm doing ... just a "senior moment" today hopefully!
Big thumbs up for the juicessh app by the way. Clean & simple interface, very nice.
Just released an update to the Play Store that includes a nice new widget for our Pro customers running Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb) that allows quick homescreen access to your frequently used connections, or specific groups:
Quick bug report: I was abouit to report this with the previous version until I saw the post saying there was an update. I've updated but the bug is still there.
I have my WiFi -> Advanced -> keep WiFi on during Sleep set to "Always".
I disable WiFi (and go automatically to mobile data) and then run Juicessh to connect to a remote server.
I then exit the session (by typing "exit" into the terminal) and before doing anything else I check the above setting and it has changed from "Always" to "Never". Not a big deal, but it was driving me a bit crazy until I tracked down what it was that was making my phone use mobile data every time the screen was off!
Samsung Galaxy Note, stock build on ICS 4.0.4.

Interesting, thanks for pointing this out. I will do some testing and try to get this resolved for our next update - which should be hitting very soon and including a much requested feature... PIN lock for the app.

Hi, I just tested the new .apk you provided but it's still doing the same as before.
Also FYI - it is not neccessary to go onto a mobile data connection to trigger the problem, that was just the way I happened to be using the app when I noticed the bug.
So, if I am on my home WiFi (with Keep wifi on during sleep set to "always") I can run juicessh, connect to a server on my own LAN and then after, exiting the ssh session, the WiFi setting has immediately changed from "Always" to "Never".
Let me know if you need any further info, and if you'd like me to do any more testing.
Hi Guys,
I've been trying to find the keys juiceSSH generated when I first installed it in order to put in the authorized_Keys on my server, but for the life of me I can't find them.
Anyone know where they are?
Thank you in advance,
J

Hi,
JuiceSSH does not (currently) generate any SSH keys for you - it can only import ones created elsewhere with ssh-keygen or other such tools.
You might be thinking of the encryption password that you're prompted for when you first ran the app? This is used to generate an AES-256 key that encrypts all of your settings, connections, passwords etc so that they are not stored in plain text.
Thanks.
Paul
