Guest jtsaint Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 When our webservers go down we get a text message so we can sort out the problem. Usually a reboot etc. Wouldnt it be great if we could log into our servers using SSH and enter the necessary commands. Do you think this would be possible? Would there be any port access issues with GPRS/ORange? What do you lot think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 For normal unprivileged apps, I'm not sure. I have a feeling that unprivileged apps might be able to access network librarys which actually do the privileged GPRS mojo. So, I would hope that an unprivileged app as you suggest could be built. Pocket IE does support SSH so hopefully all that stuff is included in the librarys. What are you thinking? like a SSH Telnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtsaint Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yep exactly that - do you know the application PUTTY? Basic a client that can connect to a server and perform command line input. It would have to be encrypted though - ie SSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I bet there some GNU/GPL telnet, SSH clients... you could search the web and see if there are any Pocket PC based ones that could be ported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtsaint Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Just downloaded a pocket pc 2002 client PockeTTY and it launched! Although the keys dont work and the screen needs a rework. Now need to find one that comes with the code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pxtigermoon Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Has anyone heard any further news on this? Or even bog-standard telnet? Just something so I can do very mission-critical things like reboot an IRCd etc. :) heh. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 An SSH app would make my life complete, quite frankly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benjymous Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Well, I'm working on an irc client (and irc is basically just glorified telnet) Currently I've only been able to get it to connect over a piggybacked cradle connection Once I've got it working, I'll happily tidy up the source and release it in a way that'll be useful to others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Don't make a telnet app! It will only encourage people to use telnet. You should be using SSH all the time, except perhaps if you connect to the serial port of a network device. That's the only time you should use telnet! Telnet puts your login password in clear text, as well as all traffic during the session. Very easy to capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 PuTTY is simply a telnet app that goes over the SSH protocol, much the same as SCP is RCP but over the SSH protocol - the app itself is irrelevant, it's how the traiffic gets there that's at stake. Hence an SSH telnet app is precisely what we're after! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benjymous Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I didn't say I was making a telnet app :) I said I've got the basics of a telnet style protocol working, so that could be modified to support the ssh protocol instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtsaint Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I didnt get anywhere with this - i asked the guys a pocketty to do it but they woudnt. ( this app boots up but requires stylus ) I think that this could be a real killer app for this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
