SSH Client For Series 60 Released

9 replies · 6,529 views · Started 23 December 2003

99% of people are going to go "what's SSH?" The other 1% are going to go to the Sourceforge Project Page and download it straight away. Symbian OS is turning out to be a rather capable portable computer system in its own right. Told you we did, but did you all listen?

The installer exists with this error message: Install Series60ProductID first.

Has the .sis been badly signed or i'm i trying to install the Series 80 version?

I've tried it but it doesn't seem to accept passwords longer than 8 characters... I filed a bug report on SourceForge, let's see if they pick it up and fix it.

I'll change my root password and give it a try a bit later.

How nice and helpful to state that 99 % do not know what it is and then to just blabber on without explaining. Well done, have more of that limited cool fun in your pseudo-eitist 1 % group. I just hate this 5-minutes-ago techie arrogance.

Oh alexcom, you're overreacting - you'd know what it is if you needed it.
Ask Mr. Google. 😉

I use ssh all the time "to give me secure command line access to a web server" and run command line apps on a remote machine.

This is much less bandwidth than any other method to remotely run some script of check to make sure a computer is still on the internet.

shit.. nice thing.. got me a nokia 6600 just yesterday, just amazing what ya can do with this phone.. you can sit someplace else without a computer and control your computer.. i love gprs too.. 😊

Ooh, don't be that way. SSH = "secure shell" -- it's mainly used for unix/linux administrators ... basically command line admin (restarting your web server, etc....) ... normal users don't have a clue about SSH, because normal users never use SSH -- it's not an "elitist" thing -- it's a "who uses" it thing -- this way, tech nerds don't need to drag their notebook home over the weekend to make sure a system is up and running -- they can update, restart/reboot, modifty, their boxes from their phone via SSH -- is this client.. SSH1 or SSH2, that's the question. 😉
