SimpleSSHD is an SSH2 server based on dropbear that supports scp, +sftp, and rsync. It only supports public-key based authentication (no +password/interactive auth). It does not use root, which means it must +listen on a port over 1024 (defaults to port 2222).

Voila! You can use ssh/scp/sftp/rsync to talk to your Android device!
+ +There are three directory settings that are important for SimpleSSHD.
+ +The first is the path for general dropbear files, which defaults to +/sdcard/ssh. Most importantly, this is where +authorized_keys is found. It is also where host keys wind up +(they are created on demand), and where temporary files go.
+ +Next is the path to the login shell. The default Android shell is +/system/bin/sh, but you may prefer to use the one that come with +busybox or whatever.
+ +Finally is the path for the home directory, which also defaults to +/sdcard/ssh. This is where your ssh session starts out, and is +where .profile will be found if it is present.
+ +There is also a place where you can put commandline options for +dropbear server. The options which are hardcoded are: -R -F -p +:portno. You can use \ or " to escape characters +in this commandline.
+ +SimpleSSHD is built using parts from open source projects: dropbear +server, openssh (for scp and sftp-server), and rsync. Those projects in +turn are based on other projects. A lot of people's work is represented +here, and very little of my own.
