[Solved] Android Phone SSH

KaladinTheWindrunner · August 7, 2018 at 3:13 AM

Greetings!

I have LibreELEC installed on my laptop. I don't have wifi, and instead use my phone's mobile hotspot to connect the laptop to internet. I use the Kore remote app with no problems.

I am trying to connect to the laptop using the app "JuiceSSH" and every time I try to connect, it gives an error "connection is closed by a foreign host". I have SSH enabled in the settings, and I am using the same IP address that I use in Kore.

If anybody has any suggestions, I appreciate it.

Sorry if this was answered elsewhere. I'm very new to this, and a cursory search didn't provide an answer.

Thanks friends!

Our SSH implementation is just normal SSH, nothing exotic. Make sure you didn't enable "disable password authentication" by accident.

I've been using JuiceSSH for ages without any issues. I would check that you haven't enabled telnet instead of ssh. Also check the amount of connections going through your "hotspot" as there might be a limit.

Update: I forgot to change the port to 22 in JuiceSSH. Sorry about the stupid question. Thanks for the replies!

Glad you got it working - JuiceSSH defaults to 22 so you must have sticky fingers.
