SSH on a palm?

thunderpoit · February 27, 2003 8:14AM

ok, i had to buy a new phone recently and finally got one that has an infared port. i know that palms can use a phone as a modem to connect to the internet, i have a palm 3x and was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to use a palm to ssh into my computer. Anyone tried this before? nothing too important, just something geeky that could be cool.

i have a copy of telnet for my palm that i have used to log-in, but as i am c**p at writing with the stylus it takes me forever to actually enter a command!

look on versiontracker (palm tab)

YES!! I used it while I was working as SysAdmin for a provider. TGssh was great for small jobs when I was on the road. I loved it. But it's only ssh1 compatible. So your server's ssh has to have version 1 fallback mode enabled.

Get it here: <a href="http://www.ai/~iang/TGssh/"; target="_blank">http://www.ai/~iang/TGssh/</a>;

it should work (see terminal output below) as I can force sshd on os x to ssh1 :

[ ~] ssh -V

OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090605f

[ ~] ssh -1 localhost
