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."

    It's a kind of shitty question.

    One suspects it's more of an advert

    Am I alone in feeling that lately slashdot has turned into a personalized search engine. I feel like I'm visiting that old miningco search engine that let you ask real questions and people would look it up for you.
    What the frell is wrong with the editors and the submitters. Do some freakin research!

      No, I feel the same way. I'm sure a lot of others do, considering how half of the posts we see in the Ask Slashdots today are full of "try google retard!" It wouldn't seem that far out for a /. editor to spend the 3 seconds to do so (google for palmos ssh client) that the poster didn't, and reject based on the ease of which something would be found.

      Or, there might be more of an agenda here. Perhaps the editor which posted this is a Zaurus user, and figured a lot of people would be like "H4h4 my Z can dooo it! PalmOS and WinCE CAN'T DO SSH! Hehahaaehe!" Followed by a bunch of suggestions for the user to buy an SL-5500. Maybe I'm just being paranoid though. ;)

    Perhaps they meant SSH2. TGssh, and every other Palm client I've seen, is only SSH1.
