How to Connect Android to Linux Terminal Using SSH

In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to establish a secure SSH connection between your Android device and a Linux terminal. SSH (Secure Shell) is a powerful tool for remotely accessing and managing your Linux system from your Android phone or tablet.

Note: I have assumed you should have ssh installed on your Kali Linux, but if you want to try it on other Linux distro, and SSH is not installed on that distro, follow the below steps:
1. Install SSH server:
sudo (package manager) install openssh-server
2. Then, Start SSH Service:
sudo systemctl start ssh
3. Next, Enable SSH Service:
sudo systemctl enable ssh
4. If you have a firewall active on your system, make sure it allows SSH traffic on port 22:
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
