SSH Tunnel Client?

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.

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.

[App] Need APK Remote Desktop Sharing over WiFi

Hello people....I'm looking for an APP that let me manage my PC Desktop over WiFi, I mean, no internet connection or server through like does Team Viewer...
Something like HOST and CLIENT using only WiFi connection...
any idea?
thanks in advance

Xtralogic did a Remote Desktop Client to control your PC via your phone - worked over wifi (assuming both PC and phone are on the same wifi)
Is that what you mean?
Failing that I did try LogMeIn once which seemed ok cross wifi networks

Realvnc or any other vnc server on your desktop.
Androidvnc or any other vnc client on your phone.

I have installed Xtralogic on my phone already, but which one do you recommend for serving like HOST or Server on Windows PC?

It just uses the native windows RDP stuff - just needs enabling on the pc - i.e. right click my computer, properties, remote connections, allow remote connections.
As mentioned already, I heard VNC is good too.

Try team viewer

wyse seems to have the best interface (ive seen) and is simple to use.
you can get remote desktop with just google user name.
I used to use remote RDP enterprise which was also good.

[Q] How do you connect to splashtop from the internet?

The IP number the streamer shows is just the local IP, meaning I can only connect from the local network???

If you want to access the streamer from outside your network and the streamer is on a local-only IP address then you'll need to set up a port forwarding rule (and possibly a corresponding firewall rule) on whatever device does the routing on your network (usually the ADSL Modem or Cable Router on a home network).

If you have a static IP for your ISP you can create a port forwarding rule in your router so that say the port that splashtop is running on is 6783, then you will forward all TCP/UDP traffic from port 6783 to the internal IP that is displayed in splashtop. Then in the splashtop app you set it up so that it connects to your home's ip address (you can find this by going to whatismyip) and port 6783.
So for example: the ip address for my home (from whatismyip) is 01.230.29.29, and splashtop is showing me 192.168.0.199, as well as port 6783 (you can see this under network in the desktop app), i will go in to my router, port forwarding, and then create a rule where any traffic to and from local/remote port 6783 will go to the computer at 192.168.0.199.
This is really easy and permanent if your router supports mac address reservation so that your computer will always have the same internal network IP. It is also easier if you have a static IP, however if you don't have a static IP you can use something like DynDNS's dynamic IP service to have an ip that will always connect to your home regardless of what the ip changes to.

Great video here, got it running the 1st try following this video.

Hey anyone using the latest verison of splashtop 1.4.5.3 on their pc? For some reason now, everytime my pc start up the splashtop desktop client does not start up even tho the setting for it is enable. I always have to use logmein to log into my pc and start the app. Anyone else? I never had this issue before updating to 1.4.5.3.

Thanks guys.

If you go to portforward.com it will go step by step with all your settings.

[Q] Acer Iconia Tab A500 VNC

I currently have droid VNC server on the tablet and I'm trying to establish a connection with a Windows PC over a wireless network. The wireless network only has my PC and the tablet on it. I can successfully ping the tablets ip address but the VNC listener on my PC cannot connect to the VNC server on the tablet. I've also tried the VNC server Remote Control Add-on by SmartDog Studios, but I still cannot connect. The device has been rooted with Android 3.1. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using one called androidVNC and it works fine.

My guess is that you need to make sure that the ports match up and that they aren't blocked. When you ping another computer you are communicating through a different port than you would for VNC. VNC is typically PORT 5900. You might even need to allow inbound and outbound rules in your windows firewall to allow this.

I use splashtop HD.
Its awesome fast and easy to configure. If you want to use it from outside the same network. Like vnc Droid you have to open some ports in your router.The safest way to do this is pot forwording to a spacific Mac address.safe and will not require a password to remember.
On splashtops web site. They have walk thru to configure lots of the popular routers.
Good luck.
