Hallo!
has anyone managed to run PocketPuTTY (http://www.pocketputty.net/) on the Tytn? I would like to connect using a non-standard port and did not manage to get it work. Do you know any other good ssh/telnet solution for Tytn?
TYIA
PocketPutty works fine on my TyTN, however I haven't tried to connect to a non standard port.
Other telnet/ssh client i like more than PocketPutty is mtoken: http://www.choung.net/mToken/
I use pocket putty on my M3100 to connect to my router at home. It works fine on the standard SSH port, not sure about other ports though.
I use PockeTTY, it lets me configure each session and specify the port...but I have never tried on a non standard port, so I'm not sure...but check it out.

I'm dyin for a sftp client myself.
same here... I found a non-free one called zaSFTP at http://www.zatelnet.com/zasftp/main.php
I really wish someone would make a F/OSS sftp client. Ideally, a port of filezilla would be sweet. There seems to be very little demand for SFTP on pocketpc's and smartphones and really zasftp is the only program I have found (free or otherwise).
Solved
I found the solution here:

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.
i've searched without luck. can anyone suggest a good SSH tunnel client for WM5/6? i want to tunnel from my tytn via cingular 3g to my home pc and then use PIE to access my home media. i do this from work now, but would like to do it from my phone.
btw, i tried zatunnel, which works, but it isn't very stable.
thanks.
mToken
The new version of mToken (4.3 if i am right) has SSH tunneling (SSH port forwarding). You find it at choung networks.
http://choung.net/mToken/?page=download
perfect! works like a charm. thanks.
I probably don't understand the question, but I use Orb installed on my home computer to access files, webcam and other media from any other computer. I can listen to mp3's on my phone from anywhere with PIE. It is free.
not that familiar with Orb, but with Tversity (which i use as a media server for all of my pictures/music/video files) there is no way (as far as i know) to prevent someone on the net from port scanning your pc and copying all of your media content from your pc. with tversity, as soon as you open the port on your home router, you media content is available to anyone that is smart enough to find the right port. there is no inherent login/security mechanism in Tversity.
to prevent this,
1- i don't open the standard tversity port (standard implied deny) on my home router.
2- i open a port for ssh on my home router / fwd to my pc's ip.
3- i use an ssh server to enable a login capability on my home pc using that same ssh port.
then from my phone (for example) i can use an ssh client to login to my pc and point PIE to the ssh port / loopback ip.
like i said, works great.
now if someone can tell me how to harden Tversity w/o having to do this, i'd appreciate it!
thanks.
With ORB you create a password to log on to your system. I think it 's a good app, I first found it reccomended here.
i guess we are getting a little OT from this forum... but your right, Orb has more security. I searched for awhile, but can't determine if Orb supports upnp clients like dlink dsm-320 and xbox media center (XBMC), etc.
in addition to using pie on my wm6 and any remote PC to access my media, I have the dlink connected to my bedroom TV wirelessly and the xbox connected to my 60". from either one, i can stream all of my media content from tversity to my TV's. please let me know if Orb can do that cuz i'll switch asap. thx.
I just thought I'd add that you can use openvpn (open source) on your ppc to vpn over a single port just like ssh. Openvpn has alot more features including persistent connections for automatically reconnecting and is extremely secure. It seems very stable to me using it over wifi to connect home. It will even work over a proxy. I use it to enable direct streaming with orb because with the vpn you are essentially on the same network.
putty mobile
i've just checked my putty mobile installation and there is a tunnel-option.
i can't try it cause i'm not in my home network but you can give it a try
One little nugget I found out last night about mToken is that it doesn't work on WM6
A freind has got a cute little Vox (I think) with WM6 and can't use most the software I use This is a major reason NOT to upgrade for me if my software doesn't work
pocket putty works great with the tunnel option. I've looked tv stream over such a tunnel.
If using T-Zones services, you get access to only few ports. However, ports like SSL and FTP are blocked. Is it possible to use a personal proxy server to get access to all unblocked ports somehow? Just thinking of an idea.

Well mate if you are referring to using the t-zones as a free connection or hacking it then it was done and t-mobile during a big upgrade all but closed that gap. I myself have been trying for a loop hole through this as well because if they want to give me t-zones for free why not be able to utilize it fully . I do pay my cell bill every month .. lol
T-zones ssh proxy forwarding
Yes there is a way to do this.
And yes I have got this to work. Now I run skype, AIM, Remote Dektop, etc. from my T-zones EDGE connection. It is kind of slow though for things like Skype.
This is not intended to be easy, however if you spend enough time, you should be able to get it to work.
Here is the concept (For Windows XP),
Host an ssh server and a proxy server on your home computer.
I use copSSH for an ssh server (google it) and squid for windows for a proxy server (again google it and read the documentation!)
Set the ssh server to run on port 80 or port 143 (valid t-zones ports).
Set the proxy server to run on port 8118 (I just like that port number).
Use an ssh client on your windows mobile phone (such as pocketputty dev build 2007-02-28) (again, google).
Configure the ssh client to connect to your home ssh server via port 80 or 143
On the tunnel tab of pocketputty, add the ports you need to get to and direct them to localhostortno
For example, Port 8118 is my proxy server so I have tunnelled port 8118 to localhost:8118
Now I manually connect to my EDGE T-Zones connection, I run pocketputty and connect to my home server. I then login with my user credentials to my ssh server and everything validates and I get a bash shell. Now I run Skype Mobile and change it's settings to connect using an https proxy of localhost with port 8118.
You can do this with any port, such as Remote Desktop (port 3389)
then you just open Remote Desktop client on your phone and connect to the the address localhost:3389 (or localhost)
I know this is a bit much but it's not exactly a point and click process for now, so only try this if you are pretty sure you know your way around ports, ssh, and tunneling. You could always read a lot about it online if you are not. That's what I did.

It's relatively simple what you saying here ...but I can't understand what is the function of squid ...I don't know how you change the Skype(or other software like IM+, Agile messenger, Palringo, wmirc etc.) settings to connect using localhost port 8118 (or any other port).
Few month ago I tried something like this based on this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316890 ...but without succes ...

One other advantage of doing it this way is that ll your activity goes down a secure encrypted tunnel and so is unsniffable.

Yes it takes a while and some resources to make this work but it can save you a lot on T-mobile's slow EDGE network.
Squid is a caching proxy which runs under linux, windows, etc. I use it to have complete encrypted web access that is cached and I use it for remote pc connections as well as windows mobile. You could also use Privoxy to have an ad and spyware filtering proxy. I do not use Squid for any other apps such as Skype or Remote Desktop.
The forum link you included is a great example of how to setup this type of connection and it's a much better description. I wish I had found it a while ago.
I can't speak for every application and its ability to select a port, however here is how Skype works. After installing Skype you have to first login to Skype using a normal internet connection such as through ActiveSync or WiFi. After Skype login completes, you open the options menu and fill in the proxy port number. Then you can disconnect and use the pocketputty method. Remote desktop is even easier, you just open a new connection and goto the address "localhostortnumber".
Way beyond me. I wish I understood because this sounds like exactly what I have been looking for.

Sounds wonderful ................
Now can you please add some pictures and make a sweet how-to . I am sure many on the site will be happy to see your work . And I for one an very interested in it.
i don't know what kind of application you use on your pocket. But if your applications (like skype, fetchmail ) are able to use a socket server, you can go through easily via restricted ports of your provider.
I installed a socks server listening on an opened port, so now i can use skype and read my mails via this server.
Socks server :
With linux install : "dante"
With XP I don't know, but you can use "socksproxy" for tests (found on xda...). Take care this software is not secure ( or intall a DMZ with a firewall)...
I'm looking for a proxifier for pocketpc (wm6), why ? :
In many case, providers lock all ports via GPRS or 3G except 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). That's why you can't receive your email on your phone via 3G (port 143 for imap and 25 for smtp).
I tested several configurations with my laptop (XP), my phone (HTC cruise) and my home computer (debian connected to the internet). My purpose is to synchronize my "imap" mails on my phone (with all my imap folders filtered! ) and my calendar.
First test : openvpn server listening on 443 on my home computer
- it works fine if you use your phone like a modem and use the openvpn client on your laptop, you have just to launch the client and everything work on your laptop via your phone !
- it's not very useful if you use the ppc openvpn client on your phone because you have to unset the provider proxy in 3G parameters... But you can synchronise your imap folders with poutlook easily.
Nevertheles, this kind of connection is slow because you add a level of encryption (price of security...) and the time for the first connection is slow.
Second test : funambol server on 443 ( behind an openvpn server you can share port with openvpn )
- you can synchronise agenda, contacts, and imap mail
BUT you can only synchronise the main folder of your email ! like most of free push-mail providers !
Third test : socks server listening on 443 (dante with debian )
- you can use your phone like a modem and use a proxifier like freecap ( sockscap or proxycap too) that proxify what you want on your laptop. In this case everything work on your laptop via your phone !
Of course you can just configure thunderbird, firefox and gaim to use your socks server, it works too... It's really easy to do and fast than with openvpn !
- On the ppc, there is A PROBLEM at this time only few application can use a socks server for the internet connection. And , it doesn't exist at this time a software like freecap on ppc (wm6).
Hapiness flexmail can use a socks server to synchronise e-mail and this is my solution at this time to synchronise all my imap folders on my phone! But this software is heavy and slow.
So my question is : someone know where i could find a software like freecap for ppc (wm6)?
Or maybe a sweet geek could to recompile the sources of freecap for arm ???
Thanks in advance,
Collins
--------- I found another discution about this problem in xda:
Hi, does anyone knows an application like Proxifier but for PPC?
If don't know what proxifier is: http://www.proxifier.com/
"Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers."
An application like this for PPC would be great as we could use cheap unlimited traffic data connections (WAP) but behind a proxy with limited ports to work with any application...
I couldn't find something like this, any advice?
------
ProxyCap now supports WM. It works great, I've tried it. But it's a 30-day trial, and costs $30 to keep.
