SSH Client, SFTP & Terminal

Open the app, type your server's address, connect. ShellPilot is an SSH client, SFTP file manager and server manager for Android that needs no account and no sign-up. Your connections and keys stay on your phone.

Connect to a VPS, Linux server, Raspberry Pi or Docker host, run commands, move files over SFTP and check server health from one app. Pro can be unlocked once, for life. No subscription is required.

🔌 SSH CLIENT, NO ACCOUNT

Connect with a password or an SSH key (Ed25519, RSA-2048, RSA-4096). Save connection profiles and swipe between open sessions. Sessions stay connected while you switch to another app to copy a password or a command. Familiar if you are coming from PuTTY.
