Planned troubleshooting
Rosie SSH is coming soon and has no public release. These checks describe the current planned behavior.
Symptom
The planned app cannot reach a host, authenticate, verify its key, or list an SFTP folder.
Check
Confirm the hostname, port, username, network route, and authentication method. Check that the server accepts a modern OpenSSH-compatible algorithm and that its host-key fingerprint is expected.
Resolution
- Test the address and port from a trusted SSH client on the same network.
- Recheck the saved host fields and password or selected key.
- Compare a first-connection fingerprint through a trusted channel.
- If the server key changed unexpectedly, stop and investigate before trusting it.
- Try a new SFTP folder after terminal authentication succeeds.
Expected result
The terminal or SFTP browser opens only after the server and credentials pass their checks. iOS may suspend the connection when Rosie SSH is backgrounded.
Escalation
See Rosie SSH Troubleshooting and include device model, iOS version, server type, port, and the symptom. Omit credentials, private keys, host lists, and terminal output.
