The default mounted directory will be the termux home directory. It is possible to change it, but Android does not allow using the root directory of a storage.

If you plan to use ssh-agent or sshd it is recommended to run it as a service. To install the runit service manager:

pkg install termux-services

Then:

• Enable and run ssh-agent service using sv-enable ssh-agent
• Enable and run sshd to autostart using sv-enable sshd

From another machine, configure the connection to termux (adjust values as needed):

Host android
    HostName 192.168.0.100
    User u0_a482
    Port 8022
