Thank you, guys! And don’t play with edit buttons pls

using-sessions - see the note on Host in the Sessions menu section.

Set PasswordAuthentication yes in your sshd_config to allow logging in with a password.

MidpSSH only supports connections over TCP/IP. It is not going to support alternative connection types. However if you have a specific interest then it should definitely be possible to implement as long as the OS and J2ME allows it. If you implement it then I will be happy to look at integrating it as appropriate.

There is no tunnel support in MidpSSH. This should be a relatively simple permission. The main developer (Karl) does not have a device that could make use of this so it isn’t a development priority at the moment.

A simple scrolling can be achived by using standard tools, like “less”, ex. ‘ls -a | less -X’. Then use your phone keys UP/DOWN to scroll.

Please, describe problem more detailed. Does `ls` work? Does `ps | more` work? Does `more <file>` work? Is “|” a real “|” and not other look alike symbol?

To log file on phone, or on server? Currently logging in file feature in midpssh is missing.

If you change or add a host in your sessions list you can specify the port by entering the number of it after the hostname, seperated by a colon (e.g. example-host.org:2222).

Currenlty you can’t. But you can generate new key in midpssh, and import it to your servers

No, you can’t. Does any mobile phones have ability to work with their COM port from java application?

Change the input mode to “Type” while connected to the server

Ensure you are using SSH2 and SSHD.NLM is running on the server (add it to autoexec.ncf), first of all. Then attempt one connection that will likely time out as the keys are initially generated. After that, you will probably be able to connect but not with a fully qualified username (ie. use “bsmith” instead of “bsmith.gis.texas.usa.novell” or whatever your user container object is).

Yes, cool
