Review summary

SSH/SFTP Server - Terminal is a reliable app for wireless file transfer between Android devices and computers, supporting internal and external storage access. Users appreciate its functionality, multiple user support, and ease of use with WinSCP and Linux clients. However, the app's messy interface, permission/access issues—especially with external SD cards—and high battery consumption are common drawbacks. Despite some stability problems and inconsistent behavior across devices, it remains a popular choice for SSH/SFTP file serving, with a paid option to remove ads and additional features.

Pros

Supports SSH/SFTP access to internal and external SD card storage, enabling file transfers not possible in many other apps.
Easy to set up and use; compatible with WinSCP and Linux file managers, facilitating large file transfers and backups.
Offers features like multiple user accounts, different root folders per user, and automation options (e.g., auto-run on home network).
Lightweight and functional; reliable for syncing files between PCs and Android devices without needing paired apps on both ends.
Allows users to remove ads by purchasing the pro version, supporting the developer and enhancing user experience.

Cons

User interface is considered messy and not intuitive, detracting from overall usability.
Permission and file access issues occur frequently, such as 'Permission denied' errors particularly with external storage, causing confusion and failed transfers.
Inconsistent behavior across different devices and Android versions; sometimes fails to add storage paths or save user dialogs.
Consumes excessive battery power even when the server is idle, which is a significant downside noted by several users.
Some users report app instability, including crashes, hanging on exit, and failure to properly disconnect sessions.
