Hello, I was trying to use ssh with these 2 devices: here's what happened:

- Android device (host):

pkill sshd
sshd



~ $ cat $PREFIX/etc/ssh/sshd_config
PrintMotd yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
Subsystem sftp /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/sftp-server



- Raspberry Pi (client)

What I've tried


- both devices connected to same WiFi network (I checked the ip address assigned to the Android device by the router in its Wifi Settings); I also checked the router 'dashboard' (the settings you're able to change just by accessing its local ip address)
- in Termux
- execute 
whoami
 and 
passwd
 beforehand
- see if anything came up in 
logcat -s 'sshd:*'
 while connecting (but nothing was outputted for some reason)
Solution
you'll need to connect to different port
sshd -p 8022

and then on your raspberry pi, connect to it on port 8022
