Putty for OS2008
 

Telnet/SSH client for X

This is the Unix port of the popular Windows ssh client, PuTTY. It supports flexible terminal setup, mid-session reconfiguration using Ctrl-rightclick, multiple X11 authentication protocols, and various other interesting things not provided by ssh in an xterm.

Ok, full tools, everything there including the non working pterm.

Compiled from latest svn.

Some notes:
An option for the nonworking pterm is present in the menu. Sorry (it can be deleted).
This was complied to use GTK 2 instead. The interface is very odd and not suited for the tablets but usable. (that means it's not hildonised, because I don't know how)
When telnetted, hildon input method will not be available. Use xkbd or the N810 keyboard (or for us N800ers (put your hands up!), a bluetooth keyboard)

sweet always liked putty

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Nice, I didn't even know there was a Linux Putty equivalent :-)

Is there also something like its WinSCP companion ?

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Oy! How could I have overlooked this? Awesome, qwerty!

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

i have found that the version available for fedora does not setup a listener when forwarding/tunneling ports to the remote host. does this version for maemo have this bug?

i understand that this is not a "ported-to-maemo" bug, but a bug in the original code, and was just wondering what version of code was used for the port. the version that i am using on fedora, that has the issue is 0.60.3.fc9.i386.

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

just a note, it seems that forwarding port 3128 (squid) does not setup the listener properly, but forwarding local port 8080 to remote host on port 3128 does work.

i tested this to see if it was just 3128, as the privoxy port 8118 had a listener setup on my local machine when i tried to tunnel it.

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Hey, is there anyone here that can possibly make it so that Putty can run in full screen mode (unless I'm missing an option for this)?

Thanks!

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Well, in my unrelenting, obsessive quest in trying to use CP 437 character encoding in telnet, Putty definitely offers such a feature and it works perfectly. :D

However, I'm still not finding a way to have Putty run in full screen mode.

The option should appear under Window's Behavior with ALT-Enter to get a full screen but it's not there for some reason.

Any help on this?

Thanks!

Addison --

I cannot install and try this (at work, closed network) now... but did you try hitting the center top button (like you'd use to maximize, say, an xterm window) ?

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Yeah, Zoom In and Out as well as the Maximize buttons all seem to be disabled.

I've even tried running Putty in a full screen Xterm window.

No such luck.

So am I missing something on this or is this option just not featured?

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

You can use wmctrl, alone or in combination with powerlaunch.
(Qole's latest Debian chroot release includes a config for powerlaunch where power-fullscreen fullscreens any program, so you could just install wmctrl, powerlaunch and that.)

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Thanks for offering this, but I'd rather use hildon-input until I buy a bluetooth keyboard.

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

When you run this ported version of putty as root from a terminal window, the putty GUI looks PERFECT, much better than those above pictures. Configurations can even be saved and read, which I could not do when I ran putty the 'normal' way through the application launcher.

I wonder why?

In any case, the following is just a workaround, but it works great!
Install the Personal Menu. Create a menu item for the command: /usr/bin/putty
Click the 'run as root' checkbox
Finally, edit the /etc/sudoers file and add the line: "user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/putty

Voila!

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Try "run-standalone.sh putty" and you'll inherit the theme as root too ;)

But the effect above could be achieved, as user, by changing some environmental variables before running putty.

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

Thanks QWERTY, your way sound a bit easier! :-)

Re: Putty for OS2008
 

I've messed around with Qwerty's Putty release several different times for many months, but in the end, I finally gave up because the whole experience was much too slow.

cjdavia, you should have a look at his port of Syncterm. It's one heck of a monster in terms of speed and it has perfect graphical support unlike Putty, the only drawback is that it doesn't have SSH support.

If you need any help getting it in fullscreen mode, ask away since I found a method to do so some time back but never posted on it.

Cheers. :)
