SSH into DROID?

[Netwaves]

How can I SSH into my Verizon DROID? I've been able to use the SSH client to SSH into my desktop and work system(s). What I'm looking for is a way to SSH into the DROID from my desktop system(s) and have a full size console/terminal to work in. :-) Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, for sure you won't be able to do it over the 3G network, at least on standard ports - A port scan of my device shows all the normal ports firewalled at verizon's end.

It may be possible to do over WiFi, but someone is going to have to make an SSHD as an add on app, since I have not been able to find one already installed.

I haven't port scanned my Droid, but now I'm curious. I've seen the SSH client apps, but an sshd app would be interesting. It would be cool to poke around in there and see what's running.

an sshd app would require the phone to be rooted though, unless there is already something there that I havent found (very possible)

[Droids]

As fa as we know the Droid does not have a ftp or ssh server running on it (why would it), so why would you expect to be able to ssh into it? Going the other way, yeah.

Have you seen any "I rooted the Droid" threads yet?

This is a basic port scan of my droid using just nmap -P0 ip:

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( Nmap - Free Security Scanner For Network Exploration & Security Audits. ) at 2009-12-04 10:56 EST

It looks like to me it's filtered on the droid...not on verizons end.

When you see 'filtered' in an nmap result, its almost always at the isp/router level. If it was on the droid the ports simply would have been closed.

I haven't found a SSH server app, but there is a FTP server called FTPServer. I've installed and configured it on port 1234. Like you guys said, VZW seems to be blocking. Usually when an ISP does this it's the common ports they block below port 1024. Anyway, configured on port 1234 I can hit the phone over my WiFi and the 3G network with access to all files, not just the SD card.

There's also a HTTP server app in the market that when accessed displays a calendar with thumbnails of th pix you took on the corresponding dates.It's called "Web Server"

Both by the way are free...

Also, for what its worth, there seems to be something stopping users from getting a shell on the phone. Get connectbot for ssh and you can do 'local' - to which you get a message saying that you can't rrun a shell on this device. Seems like we're going to have to gain root access for any of this.

If this Web Server is able to run and bind to a port, then there's no reason an SSH server wouldn't do the exact same thing..

I've got Terminal Emulator, it runs just fine... So you can get a local shell..

None of this really matters unless your main goal is to connect from a different physical location.

Getting a shell on your computer is as simple as enabling usb debugging mode, pluging the phone into your computer with the usb cable, and then just using adb to connect and open a shell..
