ConnectBot turns your Android device into a powerful tool for accessing and controlling remote Linux machines. Using this SSH client app, you can reboot your Linux server at home or connect to a desktop machine at your office directly from your Android devices when you are on the move.

ConnectBot supports all the essential features you would expect from a decent SSH client: tunneling, public-private key authentication, command history, intelligent keyboard and finger shortcuts. It even allows you to create a shortcut to a host on your desktop. Simply put, this is a must-have application for any Linux geek and system administrator with an Android device in his pocket.
