Please try the following:

After these commands please can you run again the previous commands to execute manually dropbear in root mode?

Not really :)
You forgot the dot after dropbear, the command should be:
Code: 
chmod 666 dropbear.*
Please note the dot after dropbear :D

P.S.: I suggest to uninstall/reinstall the application to fix the permissions (you haven't now execution permission on the executable "dropbeard")

Oops, yes, you're right. I uninstalled and re-installed then did the chmod as shown below.

I published a new beta with some small changes in the dropbear binary (no other new features by now), please can you test it again?
Thanks!

Code: 
$ ssh root@192.168.7.222
SSHDroid
Use 'root' as username
Default password is 'admin'
root@192.168.7.222's password:

Connection to 192.168.7.222 closed.

I gave it root permissions when it first asked, as I guess most users would. Sorry. :eek:

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

In addition I can get it to work at all now.
If I deny root the server stops.
If I allow root I get the child failed error.

More testing, if I change the port to 2222 and chmod 666 /data/data/bers.../dropbear/dropbear.*
I can log in without root permissions and then I can su allowing the prompt it shows.

So this seems at least as good as the last one.

I'm on the AT&T S4 Active (I537) running 4.2.2 GPE ROM through SafeStrap. The client won't connect for me...I will try to start and it will turn on for a fraction of a second and then turn right back off...

I'm not sure where we landed on this, but have upgraded to an S4 with 4.2.2 and both SSHDroidPro and the SSHDroid Beta are returning the above error :(. I've run through all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. I am noticing I never get a dropbeard file, even though the applicaiton is running. Any suggestions?

Also noting the same failure on other SSH apps (ie quickssh), but I was able to get an older one working on port 2222 - SSHelper - as a workaround until SSHDroid/SSHDroidPro is working again.

EDIT - I did get beta working on port 2222 eventually, by forgetting the app in SuperSU and then denying root.

Yes, port 22 seems to be a problem, and root user cannot run the app. I have been using this app reliably using this method, it's not automatic (yet) but it does work :)

    SSHDroid is a SSH server for Android (more informations about SSH here).
    This application will let you to connect to your device from your PC and execute commands (like "terminal" and "adb shell") or edit files (through SFTP, WinSCP, Cyberduck, etc...).


    Windows users:
    - File Transfer: WinSCP.
    - Remote Shell: PuTTY

    Linux users:
    - File Transfer: natively supported by most file managers (like Nautilus or Dolphin), just enter the sftp address displayed as location.
    - Remote Shell: run 'ssh' from the terminal

    Mac users:
    - File Transfer: Cyberduck
    - Remote Shell: run 'ssh' from the terminal

    Root is supported (in particular if you need to execute it on the predefined SSH port that is 22) but not required.

    FAQs:
    • q: Why my transfer speed decrease when I turn off the screen?
      a: Enable the option 'Lock Wifi'. If your device is running at least Android 2.3.x, you should get full speed transfer even when the screen is off, otherwise enable the option 'Lock screen' too.
    • q: How can I use a shared key with Putty/Winscp?
      a: You have to generate a key from the application in OpenSSH format and use Puttygen to import/convert it in ppk format. A recent version of Puttygen (>= 0.61) is required!
    • q: How can I upgrade to the pro version?
      a: If you previously purchased SSHDroidPro on Google Play, the new version will automatically detect it and upgrade to pro otherwise you can unlock it as in-app purchase.
    • q: How can I automate the application start/stop?
      a: Use the following broadcast intents:
      • START: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.START
      • STOP: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.STOP

    If you want to translate SSHDroid into a new language:
    • download the attached file (strings.zip)
    • edit the xml inside the zip (strings.xml) in this way:

      Original line:
      <string name="key_dialog_format">File format</string>
      Click to expand...
      Click to collapse
      Translated line:
      <string name="key_dialog_format">My translation of File format</string>
      Click to expand...
      Click to collapse
      Please do not translate anything inside the "name" attribute:
      <string name="do not translate this">
      Click to expand...
      Click to collapse
      But only:
      <string name="my_key">Please translate only this part</string>
      Click to expand...
      Click to collapse
    • Attach in this topic a modified version of the file or send me a pm with the download link (please remember to indicate the new language!)

    I'll be glad for every contribution :)

    Wow I've been copycatted ;)

    Right down to the Help page

    I'm not going to make a big fuss as the core part (Dropbear), for both projects, is open source and we're both setup on github posting the modified sources which is good.
    QuickSSHd's dropbear's github: https://github.com/barryk/android_external_dropbear
    SSHDroid's dropbear's github: https://github.com/berserker/android_external_dropbear

    But I would appreciate it if you tried to differentiate a little more and wrote your own help page. The interfaces are also very similar, but that's at least a relatively natural interface for a program that controls an SSH Daemon and needs to provide information on such.

    P.S.: the application is free

    I don't agree with the app being "free" if it's ad supported AND forces itself to quit if Ads are disabled on the phone (ie... via Ad killers like AdFree).

    I see you also have a 'Pro' version of the app for ~$1.30US, but now that there's a 15min only refund window, I was interested in trying out your software but I'm feeling a little "trapped" into having to either allow Ads or buy your app outright (no way any decent amount of testing can be done within 15min).

    Sorry, but for me, I'm going to pass.

    Setting Up Your Tasker Task

    berserker_devel said:
    The new version (just published in the play store) supports this feature.
    To start/stop the service you can fire the following broadcast intents:

    Free version:
    • start: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.START
    • stop: berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.STOP
    Pro version:
    • start: berserker.android.apps.sshdroidpro.command.START
    • stop: berserker.android.apps.sshdroidpro.command.STOP

    Let me know if it works :)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    I had a couple of people ask me how I set this up in Tasker, so here it goes...

    1. Create a new Task (eg. Start SSHDroid) in Tasker
    2. Add a new action > Misc > Send Intent
    3. Set the action to berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.START , Cat = None, the rest you can leave as defaults
    4. Save the action and task
    5. Repeat for berserker.android.apps.sshdroid.command.STOP intent
    6. Create a profile to trigger the tasks (or launch w/ NFC or whatever you want)

    You can test the Task by clicking on the Task and clicking the Play icon in the lower right of the popup. It should start the server right away (Screenshot).

    Hope this helps!
