SSH Turns On By Itself - How Do I Disable It Until I Need It?

[obla]

Hi, guys! Everytime I power on my phone, SSH becomes enabled by default even though I turn it off through SBSettings. How can I can turn SSH off until I need it without it being enabled again by itself when I power on my iphone? Thanks.

This happens to we as well, not a big problem though.

its set like that cause in case you crash ssh will give you access to your iphone although nothing else works (:-)

You can install sbsettings and the toggle for it if you want to

+1 I always leave SSH enabled just in case of a crash.

Yes, SSH on startup can not be disabled. Big Boss says "no"!

Please add thanks

I've been trying to figure this out also. Since it can't be disabled, it's not really a big deal but isn't it a drain on the battery?

Not really. Some people claim it is but I haven't noticed it.

No. As with most well-designed application for this platform, SSH only consume cpu-cycles during an active connection. At start-up, cpu-cycles are used to load it, but thereafter it remains dormant until awoke by the network driver in response to a connection request. As you can see with multiple memory usage utilities, even the memory consumption is extremely low. Not much larger than a single .png.

For those concerned about security, just change the default password. Easy to do

Awesome! I'll be able to sleep tonight!
