SSH tunneling question

9 replies · 4,092 views · Started 18 July 2005

Hi I can configure putty to ssh to a server but need to set up port forwarding to access my remote imap folders from the 9500's messaging application. Has anyone managed to do this with Putty or any other ssh client?
Thanks in advance

Am I the only one using SSH tunneling? Or is it so obvious that nobody can be bothered to let me know how they do it??? 😉
Please help!!

I am not sure if the 9500 putty supports port forwarding.

It does not have to be Putty, any Symbian program that support SSH tunneling will do!

what about fssh from fsecure ! used tobe available for 92xx and runs fine on my 9500. with portforwarding.

Not available from the f-secure website: "NOTE: F-Secure has discontinued the sales of F-Secure SSH Client for Nokia 9200 Communicator Series. Existing customers will continue receive support until the 1st of January 2005.".
It would be nice to get hold of a copy from soemwhere? Unfortunately it's nowhere to be seen on the Net! Any idea anybody?

I've also been looking for VPN solutions such as ssh (since the Nokia bundled VPN solution is basically useless if you don't have their specific VPN servers and only supports direct ipsec tunnels...)
I need:
- pptp operation (for use over wifi) for 'full vpn' access
- ssh2 with public key and port forwarding for multiple tunnels (for use over gprs coz pptp doesn't work)

To date:
- putty ssh2 port : works, a bit slow, supports public key auth but NOT port forwarding
- Mocha Telnet - user/pass auth only, no port forwarding
- Mocha VNC looks good as it supports a ssh2 port forwarding login, but user/pass auth only...
- mindterm : the built jars don't run directly on the communicator, and I haven't got round to trying it as an applet, or using the source/api to build something specific
- NO PPTP product that I can find

If anyone has better leads.... like you I found f-secure but can't find a source for the communicator client...

Whats sad is that on my Palm I got a pptp vpn client builtin with it (tungsten C) which worked well....

A+

... and got fed up enough to make a ssh port forwarder in java....

Using an excellent SSH2 java library (http://www.ganymed.ethz.ch/ssh2/), tweaked to work on the nokia jvm, plus a wrapper, it just creates tunnels - no terminal interface at all. But it can create as many tunnels as you want, on multiple hosts simultaneously....

I'll get round to creating a source forge project sometime; meantime drop me a mail if you want the jar. Only tested it on a 9500 and WInXP....

wonderful at least someone with java knowledge willing to do something for the 9500 😊

I am really interested to test it and at the same time I wonder whether you would be able to port mPGP from personal java for 9210/P900 to personal profile for 9500/9300 ?

There is no real PGP program working correctly for 9300/9500 and this would be very useful (for hushmail for example)

The developper does not repond to any sollicitation on sourceforge, please have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpgp/
