I thought it was perhaps not an evidence to all on how to ssh into the phone.
To ease terminal command typing, to ease copy-paste, to solve things, it is useful being able to do it into a computer. Very handy and faster.
So here is a simple how-to. Feel free to complete/comment.
This is for Linux machines as I don’t know how it goes in Windows or Macos.
edit: @gaidheal indicated Powershell + some module to install, can be used in Windows.
USB
On the phone side:
- Go into the settings and open Developer Tools
- Tick Developer Mode
- Tick Remote connection
- Enter a password, click “Save” + enter code
- Look at the USB IP address (usually 192.168.2.13)
- You can close the page and the settings.
Plug the phone to the computer and tick “developper mode”
On the computer side:
-
Open a terminal
-
Depending on your useranme, type either:
ssh defaultuser@192.168.2.13 (or the USB IP address you found earlier instead of 192.168.2.13)
or
ssh nemo@192.168.2.13 (or the USB IP address you found earlier instead of 192.168.2.13)
If you ignore your username (nemo or defaultuser), just open a terminal window. The username will be written in the prompt. (Terminal app just appeared in the app grid when you enabled Developer Mode)
-
Enter the password you entered in the phone in the Developer Tools page
You are now into your phone.
-
To exit and come back into your computer’s shell, type:
CTRL-D
or
exit
WIFI
If you want to connect without cable but through wifi:
- Connect the phone’s wifi
- Connect your computer
- Look at the WLAN address in the Settings Developer tools page
- Follow the same procedure but replace the USB IP address by the WLAN address.
