Tried run a command while out and about using my dyndns address and a forwarded port. Would not let me connect although other SSH clients will.. Connects fine while within my network. Also needs multiple hosts to become really useful! Keep up the good work dev!

Been using this for years to write Tasker variables to files on my server. One recent bug I've had though, is that even though commands run successfully, I get a notification saying that the app doesn't have Tasker permissions (3rd party accessibility is enabled in Tasker). Kinda just came out of nowhere.

There is a global configuration on the host your are connecting to, meaning you can only connect to 1 server. Lastly, I always get a plug in error when running tasks even thou the ssh command executes correctly. For now, I have disabled notifications for this app. Running CM11 on my d2spr

I was having a problem getting ConnectBot to reliably work with Tasker so I gave this a try. It worked perfectly the first time. It would be much more useful if it had a keygen utility and supported multiple hosts but for now it does the job I needed it to do.

Usable but useless for me since I need to connect to multiple machines and it uses a global config. Will switch back to connectbot.

The SSH_OUT variable displays the previous script output so I have to put sleep in. Don't see a way to have it wait to for the last one to finish. Other than that perfect.

Supports password authentication and shared key authentication using openSSH dsa or rsa keys.

Supports variable substitution so you can use your tasker variables in your commands.

Allows access to the output of your command via tasker variable.

THIS APP REQUIRES EITHER TASKER OR LOCALE TO BE INSTALLED, IT WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THEM

find it under plugins/ssh command.
input the ip or hostname of the remote machine (and port if necessary), your user name on the remote machine and either a password or select your local private key file. choose the correct authentication method.
The plugin will remember these details for any other tasks you create to run commands on the remote machine,

Enter the command you want to run on the remote machine and then you can use tasker to run them via button, shortcut, menu, condition or any of taskers many other options.

At the moment both rsa and dsa keyfiles are supported (i.e. keys generated by ssh-keygen or connectbot), To use keys generated in putty (puttygen) use the "export as openssh" option from the menu to obtain a key in the correct format.
