If you are an administrator or a web master of a UNIX/Linux system but you are working in Windows environment, then it is likely that you know what putty is. Putty is a SSH (Secure Shell) client. This tool allows you to connect to a server in a secure manner. I have used this tool many times to fix problems on my server.
One thing that was on the Windows version that I wish to have on the Symbian version is the ability to forward port connection. Without the port forwarding this tool is already quite useful, hopefully someone will implement those feature in the feature. The engine that putty uses is the same with the Windows version, and the code to forward port exists and can be compiled for Symbian (portfwd.c
), may be if I have enough time, I will see if there is any reason why it can not be implemented in Symbian.
Putty was the work of many people, and can be downloaded from http://s2putty.sf.net.
