    Its basically a Linux terminal for your phone that can run rsync, so it should work both ways.

    Just installed it now and this is so much better than the SSH app I used before. Now dumping like 40GB of backup data onto the tablets SD card. Got the tablet second hand, think the SD card cost more than the tablet did.

    You can run a SSH server on Termux, so yes, no reason you couldn't.
    Though given how aggressive background app management has gotten on Android, you'll likely have to use the 'Wakelock' function which will keep a permanent notification on your status bar, and even then Termux might still not survive depending just how aggressive your OEM/ROM is.
