SSH Clients for Palm OS 5?

Posted by Cliff on from the software-ported-to-the-latest-OS-rev dept.

oosid asks: "I have recently upgraded my Sony Clie T-616 to an NX-60 with the built in keyboard, larger screen, and a WI-FI card. I have been searching for a good terminal emulator/ssh client and have found nothing worthy. Am I totally missing something, or is there really nothing out there? It would be awesome to be able to take advantage of the excellent screen and keyboard in my favorite wireless coffee shop."

    Oh lemme see - three seconds of googling results in this:

    As you obviously haven't heard of Google, you should check it out.

    Try freewarepalm.com, which is generally a good place for free (beer) software.

    I found this link through it:

    http://netpage.em.com.br/mmand/ptelnet.htm

    It's a terminal emulator and not really an ssh client but maybe it will help.

    Login to your server with TGSSH, and then type 'screen'

    It will be a world of difference.

    Depending on what your doing, it might also help to add a TGSSH termcap entry.

    If this is happening, it's bad coding. Passing false as the 'immediate' boolean parameter in the NetLibClose call on closing an app leaves the current connection open for a user-specified delay time before actually closing the connection, so another program can use it.

    Yes, I have a palm Vx and a omnisky wireless modem with service from AT&T. Tab completeion works, you just have to send the partial letters and the tab, and not a carrige return. I've repaired mail servers without going indoors using only TGSSH.

    When I first got my Tungsten T I wanted a good telnet/SSH app but couldn't find one. All I could find was MochaTelnet, ptelnet, and TGSSH, all of which either were incompatible with OS5, weren't compatible with SSH2, or just had such ugly fonts that I couldn't see what I was doing.

    Then I found this program:
    Online

    It supports telnet and SSH. It supports file download with X-Modem, Y-Modem to VFS. And most important, it supports HIRES, so you can do a full 80x24 terminal mode and stil read it. On a fast enough connection (say GPRS), using VIM is totally usable.

    It's definitely worth the $30.
