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.

PocketPUTTY 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?)

This is a great program, Chris, BUT:

When I run the program it doesn't let me use the virtual keyboard to type in an address!

ssh tunnel support would be nice.

bruceatk

Works on my Axim X51v just fine. I'll exercise it more tonight. Great stuff.

what is SSH?

sneezie

Yes, I really share ths tunneling request.
PocketPutty is one of my Axim's killer applications.

I am able to do a lot of stuff securely when I am away from home.
Yes, i.e. no fancy formatting in e-mail messages, but being able to connect to my server even from a very slow connection and read e-mails through Pine is really something that has "saved my life" many times.

Therefore, my PDA experience would be much worse without it, because not everything can be done through an Internet browser, however good this might be.
All my thanks go to Ales fot his effort.

But Tunneling would help to enhance the range of things you can do even more. You could for example secure your VNC sessions or your e-mail downloading through otherwise unencrypted connections.

When you are at home you can do many things to keep your things private, but being able to easily and strongly encrypt whatever connection is really a troublesaving feature when you are on the go, which is what PDA's are built for!

Kudos anyway!

I used putty all through my school life, so this is great for me. but I moved on to mToken which is a more complete solution. but its not free like PocketPutty. :(

I'm hoping to do a review on mToken..

This is wonderful news indeed!

2 feature requests:
port forwarding / tunneling, as many have already mentiond
and
public key authentication

My employer has inbound SSH enabled, but they require public key authentication.

Demigod121

Another feature request - saving server locations so you don't have to retype it in every time. :)

not quite sure what any of the description means, so for us people who don't know what this program is and does can you explain it to us in simpler terms. (I know computers so not that simple)

Thanks
