Description
Have a media collection that just won't fit on your phone?
Mount and stream it with SSHFSAndroid!
Sorry for the long, long wait, everyone – SSHFSAndroid now (experimentally) supports Android 5.0+!
DISCLAIMER:
====================
This is an *ALPHA* release. SSHFSAndroid is a personal side project of mine, not my day job. As such, I am unable to do $X hours of testing on $Y number of different devices. As much as I would like to, I cannot guarantee perfection. Please rate with all of this in mind. If you encounter issues, please send me an email before rating negatively. Thanks! :)
PREREQUISITES:
====================
- busybox (with symlinks)
- su (root)
- FUSE support (in-kernel or fuse.ko module)
Note: The stock kernels in Android versions >= ICS should have in-kernel FUSE by default. If you are using a custom kernel, you might not!
*** PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP IF YOU HAVE NOT VERIFIED THAT YOUR DEVICE MEETS THE REQUIRED PREREQUISITES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. IN CAPS. ***
FAQ:
====================
Q: Why can't my media player find the files I've mounted with SSHFSAndroid?
A: Android's media scanner will not scan remote filesystem mounts. Try using a file-based player that does not rely on Android's media scanner.
Q: Can I use public key authentication? I can't get it to work.
A: Public key authentication is supported ("Advanced Options" > "IdentityFile"). However, your key file must not be password-protected and your public key must be copied to your server (typically via ssh-copy-id) beforehand.
Q: How do I use option $X in "Advanced Options"?
A: Check man pages for ssh and sshfs for documentation.
SSH: http://linux.die.net/man/1/ssh
SSHFS: http://linux.die.net/man/1/sshfs
Q: Why doesn't option $X in "Advanced Options" work?
A: Sorry, but I (probably) don't know. SSHFS has a ton of options; too many for me to test. A lot of options aren't even relevant on Android devices. The advanced options were only included out of posterity and are predominantly untested.
Q: My server listens on a port other than 22. How do I configure that?
A: "Advanced Options" > "Port". Easy!
Q: If not /mnt/sdcard, where should I be mounting to?
A: Mounting under /system seems to be the most stable. I suggest something like: /system/sshfs/mount_point_here
Ratings and Reviews
Rating: 3.4/5 based on 2+ reviews

4 ★ Works now on Android 5.1, the profile creation screen is a bit finicky though, often is make a profile then it wouldn't be there. Some quality of life issues, some thought needs to be put into the ui flow.
5 ★ This app works, but could definitelybe improved. Error output is handled really awkwardly, so it's hard to figure out what you're doing wrong when you first set it up.
5 ★ One mentally challenged user gave this app a two star rating, because it doesn't work on Android6 (for him). HELLO: The app developer never claimed it would work on Android 6! Some users should have to sign a waiver before being allowed to download and install apps :-(
1 ★ Since there is no browse feature to go to path. Need more examples. Can not get it tow work and not sure why. Checking in phone terminal it says I have fuse support. How to get a refund?
5 ★ I'm a huge fan of sshfs on Linux and have been wishing for an app like this for awhile. It works great - no problems, seems stable, very useful. Great job!
4 ★ Not working on Android 6. I'll be hoping for an update. Previous review: Working great on both a nexus 5 and a nexus 7 with 5.1.1. The only change I would like to see is a notification icon when mounted.
2 ★ Warning: Android 6 has broken SSHFSAndroid! On 5.1.1, configuration was not easy because app keeps no client logs, offers little feedback, and almost no documentation. Server logs were of little help. Tip: Turn on debugging and verbose log output and take a photo of error messages before they disappear!
5 ★ "Could not connect to server". No logs, no further info. Tried both pubkey and password authentification few times. Tried by hostname and by ip. LG G Pro 2, Android 4.2 UPD: got it. I'm just missing fuse.ko. Will retry after flashing to another firmware
4 ★ Great app, but I'd like to request key-based authentications, and the ability to make widgets on the home screen.
5 ★ CM12.1 i9305 everything works well
1 ★ Paid for, but no longer works..
3 ★ Please update for Android 6.x, currently not working
5 ★ All of the options, easy to get going, intuitive interface.
5 ★ Great app. Works flawlessly running OnePlus One with CM12.
5 ★ Works!
