An SSH client is a software program which uses the secure shell protocol to connect to a remote computer. This article compares a selection of notable clients. This article compares a selection of notable clients.
Expect is used to automate control of interactive applications such as Telnet, FTP, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, SSH, and others. [3] Expect uses pseudo terminals (Unix) or emulates a console (Windows), starts the target program, and then communicates with it, just as a human would, via the terminal or console interface. [4]
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography.SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa).
I note that in the Platform table there is a column for the Android OS, but no mention of Connectbot which seems to be the most common/popular android ssh client. connectbot : Secure shell (SSH) client for the Android platform is (I hope) a link to the developers site which lists some of the features and of couse users can install it from the ...
For example, using the SSH protocol to implement a VPN is possible, but presently only with the OpenSSH server and client implementation. For login to a shell on a remote host (replacing Telnet and rlogin )
Mosh is similar [3] to SSH, with additional features meant to improve usability for mobile users. The major features are: Mosh maintains its session even when it "roams" (when the client endpoint changes to different IP addresses), for example by moving to a different Wi-Fi network or when changing from Wi-Fi to 3G.

It is possible, however, to run it over SSH-1 (and some implementations support this) or other data streams. Running an SFTP server over SSH-1 is not platform-independent as SSH-1 does not support the concept of subsystems. An SFTP client willing to connect to an SSH-1 server needs to know the path to the SFTP server binary on the server side.
An SSH server is a software program which uses the Secure Shell protocol to accept connections from remote computers. SFTP / SCP file transfers and remote terminal connections are popular use cases for an SSH server.
