SSH client: a terminal on another machine (#2)
The SSH App opens one session to a shell, over libssh (LibSSH-ESP32 5.10.0) on mbedTLS. A server is trusted the first time on its fingerprint, and a changed key is a warning with Cancel selected. The password is typed each time and kept nowhere; or the device makes itself an Ed25519 key, whose public half is shown, written to /ssh/id_ed25519.pub and printed by `ssh status`. lib/term is the terminal: what a shell, less, top, nano and vim send, with sixteen colours, scroll regions, the alternate screen and 100 lines of scrollback. Five text sizes with Ctrl and + or -, from 60x20 to 26x8, told to the far end. The session goes on when the App is left; SSH shows in the Status Bar. `ssh user@host` in the Shell opens the App. Also: - Keys that aren't characters carry Shift, Ctrl and Alt. The terminal needs it, and it makes Ctrl+Fn+up/down in a note and Shift+Tab in Gemini work from the real keyboard. - IRC doesn't try to connect under 60 KB free: started with a session open, its TLS handshake took the heap down to 236 bytes. - libssh's own curve25519 is left out of the build (scripts/libssh_filter.py): libsodium's has the same names. Costs 292 KB of flash and about 50 KB of heap while a session is open; not started under 75 KB free. Docs: guide page, how-to, FAQ, home page, Status Bar, SD card folders, the memory how-to, README, glossary, N1 notes with Q254 to Q266 and the checks.

**The firmware contacts the project's server once a day,** to see whether a new release exists: **Settings → Check for updates**, on by default, only when Wi-Fi is up and the clock is set. It installs nothing by itself, and you can switch it off. Besides that, the device talks to what you ask it to: the IRC server and Gemini capsules you open, DNS servers (9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 by default) and time servers (pool.ntp.org and time.cloudflare.com by default), all of which you can change. There is no account, no analytics and no telemetry.

## Can it log in to my server?
|

|
||||
Yes, over SSH: the [SSH App](/guide/ssh/) is a terminal on another machine, with a password or with a key the device makes for itself. `vim`, `top` and `less` work. One session at a time, and not at the same time as IRC: there isn't the memory for both.

In the Storage App, press <kbd>w</kbd>: the device serves a small web page to any browser on the same Wi-Fi. Scan the QR code it shows, type the code, and upload or download. Nothing to install. See [From a phone](/guide/storage/#from-a-phone).
