Substitute for Putty SSH client on Nokia
9300i
I've recently had issues with
my Putty for S80 on
my Nokia 9300i.
Though the port of Putty for Symbian is quite good looking it has
many down falls. A major down side is it's slowness, a connection
to an SSH server would take up like 5 to 7 minutes time.
As they say time and money and loosing time is annoyance and this
is especially true if you have to quickly do something on a server
via your mobile.
I looked online for good SSH clients that might be a substitute to
the
PuTTY SSH client In my search I came across
this list of SSH clients
compatible with the Symbian's S80 phone architecture
I haven't tested all of the provided clients but I was blessed to
find what I was looking for, I found the
Mocha Telnet for Nokia
9300/9500 which is a really nice SSH and Telnet client. I had
to acknowledge, it's interface and it's SSH session management
interface is a way down uhandy but in general the
Mocha Telnet
is a quickly connection handler able to communicate with the remote
SSH servers on Nokia 9300i.
Usually to establish an SSH connection to a server it tooks like 1
minute using the Mocha Telnet this is really quick compared to the
6 minutes waiting while using PuTTY.
Here is a list of the capabilities of the Mocha Telnet client for
Nokia 9300 / 9500 (a quote from Mocha telnet's website):
Mocha Telnet Features:
* VT220 emulation.
* SSH2
* Autologin with scripting parameter.
* User defined function keys.
* Screen mode 24*80.
* Online Help.
* Many trim parameters.
* Small and fast.
* Free upgrades to new versions of the product.

But wait there is even some more glad glad tidings about Mocha
Telnet and the Vnc. It seems since the programs product cycle is
over and there are no new versions of the programs developed for
the Nokia 9300i and a few other old school Symbian powered Nokia
phones, MochaSoft decided to liberate the applications as a
freeware by providing a freeware registration codes for the
programs to benefit from the codes and register both your Mocha
Telnet you can use:

In case if you're curious, how administration of a remote Windows
server will look alike over a VNC client, here is also a nice
