PocketPuTTY.gif I have never been so excited to see an application drop as much as I am with this one. It’s so simple, but something I really needed. Now I can check on the servers from anywhere!!! I use PuTTY on my laptops and desktop constantly to monitor server loads and run commands on the servers and now I am excited that I can use my Pocket PC to do so as well.

It is a Windows CE port of famous PuTTY (free, BSD licensed open source SSH terminal for Windows). I started to port PuTTY as a part of my diploma thesis. After quite big success (10.000 downloads during 1st month after release), I decided to polish the code and open the source code widely to public. Sorry for the delay, but finally – here we are! Go ahead, download the binaries or the source codes and contribute! It is distributed under benevolent BSD license!

Requirements:
  • Windows Mobile 2003 operating system (Pocket PC 2002 version under construction, unstable at the moment; WM5 not yet tested)
  • 1 MB storage
  • 1 MB memory
  • Network connectivity
Features:
  • SSH1
  • SSH2
  • Color terminal emulation
Future plans:
  • WM5 compatiblity (not yet tested)
  • Full Pocket PC 2000, 2002 compatibility
  • Smartphone compatibility
  • SIP awareness (soft keyboard doesn’t resize the terminal window correctly at the moment)
  • VGA support
  • Landscape support (even on non 2003SE OS?)
