SSH Client - how to?

Question

i'm trying to setup SSH Client on my android phone (HTC) to connect and manage my laravel application via command line, running artisan commands and composer on the run.

i successfully did this using putty on my laptop computer, but i cant seem to find one suitable for android - that accepts private keys, e.g .ppk files.

please is there any better alternative that can do this, or if anyone has achieved this i'd be glad if you let me in.

Regards.

and Jsch has no android support? looks like a desktop utility. – Ande Caleb May 14 '18 at 15:39
its just a regular java jar http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsch/files/jsch.jar/0.1.54/jsch-0.1.54.jar/download just download it and import it into your android studio project – Tomer Shemesh May 14 '18 at 15:49
for an example see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4932005/can-we-use-jsch-for-ssh-key-based-communication – Tomer Shemesh May 14 '18 at 15:49
