PuTTy Ported To Pocket PC

Posted by timothy on from the lifesaver-for-every-thumbdrive dept.

LondonLawyer writes "There was a Slashdot story back in March about a port of the popular (and free) SSH client PuTTY in beta for Symbian OS. For the rest of us there's a 'pre alpha' port that has been released for the Pocket PC that seems to have slipped under the Slashdot radar. 2003 is available now and by all acounts works well. 2000/2002 are apparently in the pipeline for a planned June release. See here ( http://pocketputty.duxy.net/ ) for more details. The download can be found here. They are also talking about porting to MS Smartphone 2003 after the Pocket PC 2002 port has been done."

    I have used 2004 for over four months now, and I'm pretty satisfied with it so far, as years go.

    It still amazes me that Microsoft haven't thought of adding a ssh-client to their operatingsystems. An OS lacking a ssh-client is pretty much useless to me.
    When they get ssh and X11 clients, even Windows might seem like an alternative...

    Adding ssh would either imply that MS acknowledges that there is a need to connect to other OS'es or mean that a sshd should be added too. Adding sshd to windows would be rather useless since almost nothing can be done via the command line on windows. Either way adding ssh to windows draws attention to areas where windows is lacking.

  4. Series 60 version by polyp2000 · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have found the Series 60 version very useful to.
