tsnet on Android

Post by bamakojeff » Fri May 15, 2026 2:43 am

Has anyone used tsnet on android with public/private keys for SFTP transfers successfully? It works fine on Windows, but on Android, it always fails with an "Authentication failure" error. I have set "ssh_private_key" and "username" in the tsnet settings and confirmed that the "ssh_private_key" path points to the private key on the Android filesystem and that the file is actually present and readable.

I also find that the tsnet "trace" settings has almost no effect on Android. On Windows it produces all the information you expect, but on Android, it only reports the final error. You never see any of the connection or debugging information. tsnetVersion() reports "Version 1.4.10 Business Edition" on both windows and android.

Without any way to access the debugging info., I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.
