Comment 5 for bug 1041474

I've learned about FISH -- http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/8735/4319 , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files_transferred_over_shell_protocol .

It's also a scheme ("protocol") that tries to use only basic Unix utilities for remote access (unlike scp or SFTP). And there was/is even tramp-fish.el (if it hasn't been thrown away -- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2009-06/msg00226.html ).

It might work with Android (or not).
