Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

  • sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
  • using croc to transfer files
  • making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
  • downloading stuff with yt-dlp
  • giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
  • scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
  • running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
  • using vim
  • probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting

    croc is best to use the android app instead of croc in termux

    Using termux for SSH as well. Haven't heard about croc before. Are there advantages over copying files with ssh (scp) for example?

    The main advantages for me are:

    1. You don't need to swap ssh keys, which makes it great for setting up new systems I haven't connected to everything else yet (or don't plan to)
    2. It's cross platform
    3. The devices don't need to be on the same network (it NAT busts too)
