Secure FTP program for HPC 2000?

Hello Everyone,

I am a new owner of a Jornada 720, and I have found it to be an incredibly useful little device.

Anyway, I have had no trouble finding ftp programs for my handheld. However, I have not been successful in finding one that will allow me to connect to my account on my institution's Unix server.

I am told that in order to connect, the ftp program must be secure (implement SSH?), so I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows of an ftp program for HPC 2000 that meets this requirement.


Thanks for your help!

I think that the easiest way to proceed is to get yourself a SSH client and see if you can get that setup with the shell account. Once you have done that, you can sort out the FTP.

SSH is an authentication/encryption layer, the FTP runs across it's security model.

try MindTerm 2.4.2

Get it from here

You will need Personal Java though. Check Henri's site.
Also check here

to configure the jar file to run on the J720
Make sure you make the directory in the specified place.

I got the application to run on the J720 but
i have no ssh server to ssh to to see if I can make a connection from my j720.

SFTP is a available under the plugin menu after
you make a server connection.

I installed personaljava to try this, but when I try to run the java files it gives an error saying it "Cannot find 'pjava'"

It sounds like just a problem with the path it's looking for, but I don't know where I could change that...

Just an update...

Using sshce, I am able to login to the server and run a terminal session. I am still fiddling with the Mindterm program to see if the sftp will work.

I'll keep you posted.

sshce is shareware. Is there something freeware?

Hi, congratulations, you just dredged up a thread that is three years old having just started your own post on the same subject.
