Hi All,
Has anybody found a good VNC client for the XDA II?
At the moment, I have PTvncGPRS, but I'm not desperately keen on it because the display is always fuzzy.
The alternative is a web browser with good java support, since the win VNC server has a web server built in, which supplies a web page with a java applet on it...
Anybody got any good ideas (I don't want to pay through my nose for it though...)?
Cheers!
Phil

Hi,
I'm a webmaster and just bought my O2 Exec today and am so far very happy with my new toy! My main reason for buying this is so that in emergency situations wherever I am I can fix my servers which receive 10,000's of viewers per hour.
Can anyone recommend a good SSH client for my O2 Exec similar to putty on the PC?
Thanks,
Paul
O2 XDA EXEC SSH Client
Go for Pocket Putty http://www.duxy.net/~aleq/PocketPuTTY/PocketPuTTY_v0.1-preapha-0.53b.zip
is that one workin on wm5?
Tried that last night, programme loads but there is no ok button to connect to server. Also there was no way to specify a custom ssh port.
Any ideas what to do?
PocketPutty is working on WM5 however custom ssh port is not supported, also there is a lot of problems with emulation. So far I was unable to find working ssh client for PDA.
I use PocketPutty on my MDA Pro (HTC Universal) and I have no problems with it.
when the question comes where you need to tap on ok, just press enter on the builtin keyboard.
I would like to change the font used by PPutty, as the vga screen can show much more information thus making directory listings etc. much better readable.
Can you use custom ssh ports? All my servers use custom ports for security reasons.
No, I use standard ssh Port. too bad that the source code is not open source or I would change it myself
Tried on my Dpod 900 but failed to login. :evil: :evil:
vijay port a new wm5 version thanks =?)
Hopefully sometime soon putty will be converted to wm5 with custom ssh port support.
Hi Supafly
I do similar stuff to you and there are lots of products out there that just do not work. I need ping, ftp, tracrt, telnet, SNMP, Packet sniffer . But instead of supporting web servers I support Telecoms VOIP network with 24/7 cover.
The best for these that support ozVGA are the Cambridge products. Even though I gather they were built 6 years ago they just work without any problems at all on the universal. Some have been ported to PPC 2003. The telnet client is good in ozVGA as you get a full screen that can show the entire screen from most telnet apps.
Here is the link http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I did try pocket putty first but did not have much sucess with it. If any one has a better suite of products that work well I am all ears.

http://www.dejavusoftware.com/pocketty/ works well for me, it can run in VGA with any of the VGA hacks, and lets you choose any font you have as well as screen width/height. It also does all the encryption stuff properly, that a lot of clients dont bother with. Port tunneling etc too.
The screen sometimes goes half size, but you can fix that by opening and closing the onscreen keyboard.
Courier new with font size 6 gets you the full terminal window on your screen, and its readable nicely in VGA mode.

That pocketty program supports custom ports as well.
the remote desktop client on my vario ii connects to my work desktop perfectly using our office vpn but it is rubbish! the screen doesn't scale well at all or provide any kind of zoom out function.
I have a vnc client which performs much better but it won't connect over the vpn it only works when connected directly to the office network.
forwarding ports is out of the question. so my question is this.
is there a vnc client for pocket pc which will work over vpn or is there a way to make the remote desktop client less rubbish
also are there any apps out there that will let me browse my work network over the vpn. resco doesn't seem to be able to do it even the ftp client won't work.
am I missing something about vpn connections as it seems the only two apps that work over one are activesync and the remote desktop client.
Did you tried to acces domain controler throught the VPN? If yes it is normal that it doesn't work; Domain controler require security enhancement in auth that pocket devices cannot deliver yet. The only way I know is to reduce the security enhancement by using the GPO on the concerned servers; but this is far of being a clean fix.
Just trying to use connect to a vnc server on my workstation. btw our domain controller is the exchange server and active sync works fine
Active sync & exchange do not use the integrate authentification & kerberos; it uses a plain text auth (crypted with the SSL certs), that's why it works. Even if you are on the LAN you will not be able to access your domain's controller shares because of security enhancement.
This is far from solving your issue; but I just wanted to make it clear. Concerning your issue I can't help you at the moment, I still didnt tried the VPN & advanced networking.
btw, good luck
I have set up a vpn on my home computer, no domain, and can't access shares or a vnc server on that either.
Hi Stemill, I seen your other post about the vpn issues with Resco also, I have heard in the past about vpn issues using the [email protected], are you using [email protected] or [email protected]?
I use the terminal/remote client on a daily basis, and it does blow, vj on the board here has made an app that allows fullscreen with the terminal client, and theres a Mocha remote desktop client that supports scaling but no fullscreen, both of which have their own quirks. The scaling makes the text impossible to read when its even at 25%
I have been working on connecting to the remote desktop on mac with vnc, and I've gotten as far as an error on authentification, so I know its possible outside of a home network, but I don't have a clue about buisness situations..exchange or vpn's.
I not even 100% positive about the wap issue, I just seem to remember reading something about it in the past.
Sorry I wasn't of much help, also I kind of have a question for you, I see you mention activesync, you're not activesyncing over an internet connection are you?, I'm working on installing apps that I don't have a .cab for over an internet connection, but the best route I had figured out was to install to a ftp share and then grab the .cab from there with Resco.
Best of luck to you.
Hi there.
I'm on t-mob in the uk. They have a 3g network with full internet access so i'm not using wap at all.
Thanks for the tips about the remote client tweaks. Do you have a link?
I'm using activesync to connect to my works exchange server to sync email and calendar. Pretty sure its not possible to sync over the air to a pc without using exchange. You certainly won't be able to grab remote files via activesync.
If we could figure out how to get apps to work over vpn you could set one up on your pc and (theoretically at least) browse its contents using resco without having to bother with ftp.
If it's not possible to get stuff working over the vpn then you've probably found the best solution already. use ftp or setup a webserver on your pc and host the cab files on that. pocket ie seems to let you install cab files directly from a link.
btw which vnc client are you using on your phone?
Hi, I forget a lot of the time that people here have so many different carriers, sorry.
Here's the link to vj's terminal addon app
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJFullscreenTSC
And here's the link to the Mocha remote client app
http://www.mochasoft.dk/rd.htm
I used .Net vnc when I was able to get the authentification error
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/netvncviewer.shtml
I think my problem on the authentification was with the apple remote desktop itself, I read about somethin in the authentification being non standard and sometimes the free vnc viewers don't work..but that was also pc to pc related, the same makers of the Mocha remote desktop also make a vnc client..that was gonna be my next try, I just haven't gotten there yet.
I inistally set up my pc to be able to remote to it from my phone and access aol chatrooms..well mainly one I have hung out in for years, then realized if I set up a server, I could install apps that I couldn't find in .cab form over the net with it, I used to have windows server 2003 set up with IIS(webserver) and the streaming media services, I'm wondering now if the windows streaming media really works with the pocket windows media, and if I could even use it with my gprs/edge connection, I'm still waiting on 3G, suprisingly the remote desktop isn't too bad on gprs/edge.
I'm currently waiting to get a new hard drive before I can really get to work, I'm testing on an old messed up xp install, and half the time I can't even access "my computer" or open folders without it crashin explorer.
sooo, i was wondering if there was a way that instead of logging me out of windows when i use remote desktop that i can actively connect at the same time as my admin login?
kind of like how with logmein you can see what's happening on the screen?
thanks guys!
use one of the VNC implementations (there are some ppc clients and many XP servers)
vnc, i've read about that here in the forums.
alright, i;ll definately give that a shot, thanks so much.
and which programs do you guys suggest?
Google for "xp sp2 beta remote desktop multiple". Hit the first link. Won't go into too much detail here, but sp2 beta allowed multiple sessions in the way that you want, which was removed for the full product.
I hope this does not breach forum rules as we do this sort of thing on mobile devices daily - i.e. moving dll files from different devices/OS versions to other ones. If so, then I apologise and do please delete this post
I use the VNC with PT pocket office from http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/PT_software.htm
Works great on UTMS/GPRS/WiFi
i am looking for an ssh client for windows mobile that can do port forwarding so i can ssh and then rdp to my desktop pc.
Anybody know of any programs to do this?
pocketputty doesnt seem to offer this option
Pocket PuTTY
I use Pocket PuTTY and have it integrated into my ROM:
http://www.pocketputty.net/
It's been a while since it was last updated but if it's just Telnet/SSH terminal access you want I can't fault it.
Andy
There are two versions of PocketPutty. One has a simple username and password interface and the other has all the goodies.
ADB100 linked to the good one.
PocketPutty does it for me, just need to set up the tunnels before logging in.
OK, So this isnt strictly a windows MOBILE question, but i hope people here can help me....
I'm running VNC On a server of mine.
I am trying to connect, So i can run and administer commands on my DHD, (When i unwrap it in 2 days) So i can administer things etc..
Also wow friends by wow'ing on a 4" Mobile ;P
Anyway, here is my configuration;
http://cl.ly/0v3w1C0s0f062r1p3C3I
http://cl.ly/3q0K2J2t2x240V2E190V
I have tried the java web client 5800) and Chicken of the VNC (mac) and only the web viewer on a windows XP pc.
The only thing i can think of is that the server i set up by RDP, and still prefer to use RDP to do that sort of thing.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Anyone, Come on! :S
