What is SSH Server in Termux?
SSH stands for secure shell and it a cryptographic network protocol. With The help of ssh two computers can access data without any third person intercepting in between. It is more secure than other protocols because it is encrypted. You can use ssh in Termux to make a Private tunnel for you so that you can access your Termux in Windows easily.
Termux is CLI-based so while accessing the termux in Windows you will feel like its installed in your computer. It never lags, It does not disconnect, and it never malfunctions, You can easily install tools while using it with windows If you have a Windows then You should try this.
You can also access it and set up your termux fully like a hacking machine, like installing tools and creating all the files that you can use any time you want. I have only tested it on Windows 10 and it works perfectly but maybe Windows 7 & 8 do not have ssh preinstalled if this method does not work for you then I have Written this Post for you Guys : [ Termux Tmate : Access Termux Remotely In Any Browser ]
