There are dozens (if not hundreds) of ssh clients for Android and it's
difficult to choose between them.

Does anyone here have any particular recommendations?

I have used JuiceSSH. Paid version has a handy feature called snippets
which are command sequences that can be launched from a menu.

I remember I had trouble at some point getting passwordless logins to
work but not recently.

Fingerprint-unlocking for keys I looked for in an ssh client at some
point but didn't find it. I felt a lot of ssh clients predate
fingerprint sensors and haven't been updated with that.

I use the ssh tool in the Termux shell regularly. It works exactly like
ssh from a Linux terminal, which is my preference. Keys in $HOME/.ssh/ ,
config in $HOME/.ssh/config , same command line options, scp, sftp, etc.

The up-to-date Termux is available in F-Droid. The Play store version is
a bit outdated.

Ah, that's a second recommendation for Termux, so I'll try that too.
Thank you.

A few other people have recommended JuiceSSH so it's certainly worth a
try anyway, thanks. I don't need anything like snippets, I'm just
looking for something that feels as much like a standard Linux/Unix
ssh as possible.

OK, good to know.

Again I don't think I'll want that.
