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.

Hi everyone,
I was going to buy the XDA II, but ended up with the Siemens M65 (sorry!)... I was too worried I'd break the XDA as I use my phone quite heavily under rough conditions.
Anyway, I figured this would be a good place to ask... is it possible to connect to port 22 (SSH) over the O2 UK GPRS network? Do they support TCP/IP networking? I have two Java SSH clients for my M65 (mobiSh and FloydSSH) and they just return an error saying 'no route to host'.
I've got my GPRS setup as I can access HTML web pages and download emails from POP accounts, but I have a feeling port 22 is blocked..?
Many thanks!
Matt
Maybe your JAVA VM can't connect to Internet? Try PocketPuTTY! This is working for me in Hungary/Vodafone. It is a simple applicatio.n, doesn't need Java.
My question; there is any SIP that can send function keys? For example, I like to quit from MidnightCommander, but the internal keyboard doesn't have an F10 key.

It *has* to be Java for it to work on my Siemens phone.
I was just hoping there would be some O2 GPRS users here Anyway, I solved it... I changed the port on my SSH server to a more O2-friendly port (it seems they didn't like me using port 22). It works fine now.
Thanks!

Hi. Is there any alternate application for TSC on WM5? I am using it to connect my PDA to Remote Desktop via GPRS. That's not problem but my display has limited resolution (QVGA) to view all content of the remote desktop. I need some function to modify the resolution of Terminal Computer (like standard Windows XP Remote Desktop apllication). Thanks.
Why not use VNC or LogMeIn etc?
You can also use Nydiot to do this artificially.
V
Thank you. VNC seems to be a good choice. Only small (rather big ) broblem remains.
I used to enter just name of my business server in TSC in format like xxxxxxxxx.xx.xxx.xx (no numbers). Taht's all and it worked. Now it is not enough. VNC automatically adds some "5900 port number" and even I change to other port (i.e. 3389), program is not able to connect (5900 port) or to communicate (3389 port) with the server. So it seems to me, that TSC used some specific port number (hidden to me) and my question is WHICH? Or is there any other problem? Thanks.
If you're using a firewall, ensure this port is enabled for this app. If ypu 're using a router, ensure this port is forwarded to your pc.
Can't remember the default port, just google for it. You can also try run > mstsc.exe on your desktop to check.
V
Sorry for my ignorance but I don't quite understand. I was talking about VNC client in my PDA and it looks like you are talking about desktop PC. But yes, I can connect to my busines server via desktop PC but problem is with my PDA. Anyway thanks for your advice, I'll check Google for that damn port
IIRC the port is the same on PDA and PC. Launching mstsc.exe on your PC will permit you to find the PC's default port number, which should also be the same for the pda. Enter that into VNC server AND client.
V
O.K. I have another stupid question. I have launched "mstsc.exe" but only information I've got is that about my server name and some other in "Options menu". That's what I already know. Where is the port number witten?
to change to TSC on a different port, say if you changed it 3390 (instead of 3389) enter hostname.com:3890 to change the default port on the server edit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
the entry needs to be made in hex (3389=00000D3D & 3390=00000D3E)
VNC always defaults to 5900, but this can be changed on the server, and on the client you just add :X where X is an increment above 5900 so if the port is 5901 you connect to hostname.com:1 & 5902 you connect to hostname.com:2
I'm not sure if I am reading this right and my apologies if I'm stating the obvious.
If you want to use VNC on your PDA you will also need to install VNC on your actual server and configure as a server.
Unfortunatly VNC & rdp (terminal services) use different protocols so just changing the port number to match won't work.
RDP/Terminal service is included in Windows XP & 2003/2000 (if installed/configured) VNC is a third party application.
i think were a bit lost here
anyway, heres some ver of vnc for pocketPC.s
some free ones
http://home.utah.edu/~mcm5849/wince/vnc.html
and some commercial ones
http://software.brighthand.com/product.asp?id=5563
http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm (the one i use)
personally i like tsc, as you can change the screen size.

You are absolutely right and you don't have to apologize because the stupid one is me I really didn't know that VNC server shall be also installed on desktop. But in that case there is no solution for my problem as my employer will not install any VNC on his server.

"tsc"...do you mean Terminal Service Client on WM5 platform? There is not possible to change screen size, is there?
Viktor: there aren't (m)any non Microsoft terminal services clients.
The standard PDA client is not very good, limited resolution, not fullscreen.
You can use VJFullScreenTSC to get rid of the softkeys/make it fullscreen, but a better or additional solution is to use Nydiot or similar virtual screen manager to extend your screen resolution. This apparently lets you use a much bigger screen resolution on TSC.
If you have access to the server, you can just run the VNC server yourself. It's a tiny program, no complex installation, I use it to control my PCs from work.
V
PS The Crossbow Remote Desktop client is much better apparently. If you can wait, it'll be worth it.
Give Mocha Remote Desktop a try. It works pretty well and lets you change the port easily.

yep, when connecting you have option "limit size of server to fit on screen"
i dont use this, its just too small. its the only time i change my screen to landscape, getting a more useful working area. true, i only want access to a dos prompt, services or notepad.

sorry viktor, yes tsc=terminal service client
Another option could be to install VNC on your PC at work if the admin will allow the required firewall rules.
Then use the PPC VNC client to connect to your PC and then access a DOS prompt, Services or notepad.
Also logging onto the server from your desktop could be possible through the desktop version of Remote Desktop Connection.
I do something similar in that I use the PPC TS Client (& VJ's excellent VJFSTSC on a Universal) to logon to one server setup for Citrix and RDP access and then use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to any other server/client that I wish to access.
Nyditot's Virtual Display also works well with the PPC version of the TS Client and allows 800x600 & 1024x768 resolutions provided Virtual Display is set to those resolutions prior to connecting. You would then use virtual display's navigation controls to move around your desktop
(VJFSTSC works but hiding the SIP is a bit hit & miss because with nyditot VJTSC required menu options to be selected twice and you often end up with the top start bar returning.)

But that function doesn't "shrink" screen size of the server to fit into my PDA display. Marking this checkbox will only cut the the central (320x240) part of the server screen without any possibility to scroll. So it is even worse case than to leave it unmarked...

Viktor, that is wrong, tsc should give you a tiny little screen, with limited content, but for example if you run cmd or services, you get a usable (non scrolling) screen.
i dont quite know what you want to achive, but a way to get 25% of a screen is to use vnc (server) on a machine withe the screen res changed to 640x480, change your fonts & menus to small. you see where i'm going?
what u need is a DELL VGA x51pda and teathing it to your tytn! then u can access your remote pc and view it just like at your office with VGA display!
this is y i so desperate need a VGA pdaPhone with tri-band hsdpa.
Finally Microsoft have got their act together and provided a pretty good RDP client.
Crossbow's client is much better than previous versions offering friendly full screen support with which it is simple to toggle betweet RDP Mobile and other applcations.
(On a Full screen RDP session just press the Ok button to be presented with a Yes/No box offering to disconnect, selecting NO will leave the session intact and just , move it to the background without needing to logon again.)
Also from a fullscreen session just hit either of the buttons mapped to the softkeys to toggle back to windowed mode (Start bar visible).
Encrytion has been improved as RDP mobile nolonger requires the connection to be downgraded to Client Compatible.
I'm not forgetting the other documented features such as a coice of 256 Colours or High Colour (16 bit) and the ability to map audi from the server to the PPC.
Considering VJ's excellent VJFSTSC app was usually one of the first things to be installed after a rom upgrade I'm glad Microsoft have made their client not just usable but they have provided a long overdue (No change between 2003 & WM5) overhaul.
Taking things a little further I was surprised that Nyditot's Virtual Display works on Crossbow and the RDP client will allow a 800x600 screen (probably any res you choose) provided that the Fit to screen option is used.
Taz, I was slow to update VJFSTSC because I 'had a feeling' about remote desktop.. I don't know if there's any point continuing with my app, but I can think of some improvements to the new client, so maybe I can move in a different direction.
Many thanks for the review though. How do you find performance?
V
Try to get remote [email protected] 16 colors.
And now for a couple of pprblems with the new RDP Client
Hopefully these will be addressed by Microsoft before Crossbow/WM6 is officially released.
1. Remote Desktop Mobile will nolonger initiate a VPN through the Exceptions list within the Connections' settings. If you need to connect through a VPN you now need to connect to a VPN manually before connecting through Remote Desktop Mobile.
2. The auto fill for the Computer you wish to connect to can be a little awkward.
Once a few computers have been added, trying to connect to an additional computer with a similar name/IP to one already cached can result in RDM automattically filling in the details of a prev entered computer.
Trying to delete part of the pre-empted details results in the whole field being emptied but as you start to type the computer details again the autofill adds a previously entered computer again. The workaround is to enter the new computer name in one of the other fields and cut/paste it into the 'Computer' field.
VJ if you are considering a VJRDM application here are a few suggestions.
1. Maintain a list of computers & credential within your own application so that selecting which computer you wish to connect to will automatically launch RDM and connect to the required computer.
2. Include an option to automattically choose the Internet/Work connection and if your own database of details is maintained, allow these settings to be saved alongside the Username,Password, Domain and other settings.
3. The ability to program a WM device's hardware keys for CTRL, Esc, Alt and other Windows functions whilst using RDM without needing to reprogram these keys at the device level would be excellent
(ie launch VJRDM and the E-mail key becomes CTRL, Home becomes ALT but only whilst VJRDM is active. Whilst using other applications these keys retain their original function.)
4. Finally an option to temp disable push e-mail whilst connecting over a VPN would be handy as it would save activesync closing the VPN connection eveytime it tries to connect and shutting down the VPN.
Even with the above couple of problems DRM is far better than the terminal service client.
Does anyone know of a small application to launch a VPN without having to wade through the Connections' settings?
onlineemails I was about to suggest setting the colour depth on the server but it appears that XP and 2003 have a min depth of 8 bit (256 colours)
Hi all, is it possible to copy all the files from WM6 RDM on to a WM5 Universal, therefore being able to use the more advanced RDM on WM5?, as RDM is the ony reason i would upgrade to WM6.
Thanks
Does anyone know the file names for Remote Desktop in Crossbow?
Hi,
I am looking for a better Remote Desktop client for WM5 on my HTC Hermes.
With screen resolution setting...
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything useful.
Maybe I could use the new client from WM6.
How can I find it ?
Can anyone who has WM6, send it to me please?
Or maybe you can suggesta good client for WM5 ?
Thanks
can remote desktop be used when the universal is not connected to a home network, but through the internet with gprs/umts??
i havent got logmein working with crossbow yet :S
logmein works for me. I'm using Midgets vanilla rom at the mo.
stupid me... it does work with IE, just not with opera :$
can I use higher res than 640*480? my school's term server is requesting a minimum resolution of 800*600...
is there anyway to get wm6 remote dsektop in wm5?
i had my brother forward port 3389 from the network server to my pc and now the remote desktop works perfect with the gprs/umts connection
way better then LogMeIn
Ideally, I'd like some kind of muck/mush/mud client for play on the go, but simple telnet will do the job if it has to.
I have a Cingular 8525 WM5 device.
I've tried various incarnations of freebies from around the net with no success, and I've never made an internet telnet connection that works. Given telnet protocol is one of the fundamentals of TCP/IP I was frankly staggered that there was no telnet/ssh client on the machine to begin with...
Can anyone suggest a working client?

http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...glish&platformId=2&N=96806 4294959655&R=13383
for landscape i might stick to pockettty instead. then i can use keyboard.
I ordered my HTC Advantage 7501, from Amazon earlier this week, and I completely excited. I was wondering if anyone has tried PocketPutty or something similar? First, I would like to know if it works well on Athena, and second is there a way to send F-keys (F1, F2.,. F12)? I need ssh and telnet to connect to my company's POS/Inventory system it would be great to leave my laptop at home.
Hi
I used putty for pocketpc, it does work (I used it over Wifi) but it's painfully slow...
I don't know if I can send function keys (F1 to F12), I didn't need them.

Silviu
im using pocketty its pretty good

Hi,
I take back what I just posted: it was just the login that was slow using pocket putty, and it was because of a failed reverse DNS lookup from the server... Otherwise it works perfectly.
