Hi @vsuneja63 ,

Sorry for the late reply. In order to have an SSH app, like openssh, you'd need to do it manually by consulting the Android OS documentation (Android OS Source Documentation  |  Android Open Source Project) since installing Linux-based apps isn't as straight forward in Android devices. 

It may also be worth it to look into Portable OpenSSH on Google's Android repositories platform/external/openssh - Git at Google (googlesource.com) (although I'm not sure of the capabilities/compatibility with Android itself). 

Let me know if this was of any help.

Best regards,
Hector.
