SSH to your Odroid U3+

If you have set your Odroid to auto-connect to an ad-hoc connection, then you'd be able to SSH to your Odroid (host) through another computer (client).

Connect

From the client:

1. In order to connect to the ad-hoc connection, first create a shell script file:

   gedit connect.sh
   

   And put the following contents in it:

   #!/bin/sh
   service network-manager stop
   ifconfig wlp2s0 down
   iwconfig wlp2s0 mode ad-hoc
   iwconfig wlp2s0 essid "odroid"
   iwconfig wlp2s0 key 1234567890
   ifconfig wlp2s0 192.168.1.2
   ifconfig wlp2s0 up
   
   
   echo "Connected to ODROID\n"
   
   
   ssh root@192.168.1.1
   

   Where wlp2s0 is my wireless interface. So you must change wlp2s0 and all the variables as you set them up in auto-connect to an ad-hoc connection.

2. Change the execution bit on the file to make it executable:

   chmod +x connect.sh
   

   And run it:

   ./connect.sh
   

   It might not SSH on the first try, try to run it again if it failed.

Disconnect

1. To disconnect the client from the ad-hoc connection, create a shell script file:

   gedit disconnect.sh
   

   And put the following contents in it:

   #!/bin/sh
   iwconfig wlp2s0 mode managed
   service network-manager start
   
   
   echo "Disconnected"
   

2. Change the execution bit on the file to make it executable:

   chmod +x disconnect.sh
   

   And run it:

   ./disconnect.sh
   

   I stop the Network Manager because it might attempt to find a more reliable network which would cause disconnection of the ad-hoc network.
