Description

PocketPuTTY is free, open source SSH client for Pocket PC.

It is a Windows CE port of famous PuTTY (free, BSD licensed open source SSH terminal for Windows). I started to port PuTTY as a part of my diploma thesis. After quite big success (10.000 downloads during 1st month after release), I decided to polish the code and open the source code widely to public. Sorry for the delay, but finally - here we are! Go ahead, download the binaries or the source codes and contribute! It is distributed under benevolent BSD license!

Requirements:
• Windows Mobile 2003 / 5.0 operating system (Pocket PC 2002 version under construction, unstable at the moment)
• 1 MB storage
• 1 MB memory
• Network connectivity

Features:
• SSH1
• SSH2
• Telnet
• Serial
• Tunneling
• Private key authentication
• Color terminal emulation

System Requirements

PocketPutty is freeware from http://pocketputty.aleq.cz

The PPC 2002 version of PocketPutty (release 02-28-2007)
will work on Jornada 720/728 with WinCE 3.0.

It does require the addition of the RedGear Compatibility Layer
(available for download from hpcfactor.com), and an aygshell file (see below).

Installation:
1. Extract the zip file.
2. Copy the resulting .exe file to a temporary file on the Jornada.
3. Run the .exe file. Allow installation in the default location ( \Program Files\ ).
4. Copy aygshell-D4C4F.dll to the same folder, and rename it to aygshell.dll.

Operating notes:
1. After initiating a connection, the terminal window will open.
If you see no action, tap once within the window, and it will wake up.
2 Note that during SSH connections, pages may be slow to refresh.
3. By default, a security key received from an SSH site will be stored in \My Documents\Putty.RND

Another version of PocketPutty, for WM2003, is also available at:
http://pocketputty.aleq.cz/download.html (or)
https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20071011005207/http://www.pocketputty.net:80/download.html

Installation Instructions

PocketPutty is freeware from http://pocketputty.aleq.cz

The PPC 2002 version of PocketPutty (release 02-28-2007)
will work on Jornada 720/728 with WinCE 3.0.

It does require the addition of the RedGear Compatibility Layer
(available for download from hpcfactor.com), and an aygshell file (see below).

Installation:
1. Extract the zip file.
2. Copy the resulting Putty.exe file to a convenient folder on the Jornada (eg. \Program Files\ ).
3. According to Executability Check, Putty.exe is looking for an aygshell file. However, on the Jornada 720/728, it will run without one. It also seems happy with any of the following (from the cmonex izemize site), aygshell-4AA1F.dll (7.5K), aygshell-A9171.dll (7.5K), or aygshell-82B85.dll (16.5 Kb). If you opt to add an aygshell, copy the file to the same folder as Putty.exe and rename the aygshell to aygshell.dll.

Operating notes:
1. After initiating a connection, the terminal window will open.
If you see no action, or if no Toolbar appears above the window, tap once within the window, and it will wake up.
2 Note that during SSH connections, pages may be slow to refresh.
3. By default, PocketPutty generates a Random Number Seed file, in \My Documents\Putty.RND.
4. Sessions and SSH Host Keys are stored in the Registry under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ SimonTatham \ Putty

Another version of PocketPutty, for WM2003, is also available at:

This program is a Pocket PC program with a stub file modification for H/PC compatibility. It and the installation instructions were submitted and contributed by by HPC:Factor community member Dave Wurm.

The source code for this is now available either via the downloads section or via repository.hpcfactor.com, again thanks go to Dave Wurm.

I can't open COM1: at all with this. Using 9600/8/N/1 with hardware flow control as the serial settings in PocketPuTTY.
C:Amie 24 June 2019 at 3:06:23 PM
rcx_6000 my guess is that the problem could possibly be because Windows CE's ActiveSync has a lock on the port because it is monitoring it for an inbound connection.

You need to shutdown ActiveSync's daemon to make it work. There is a registry key to do this.

Hi C:Amie, I am having the same problem that rcx_6000 reported. I have a jornada 720 using a socket PCMCIA serial card. The built-in terminal program works fine. Using pocketputty says "can't connect to com1" I also tried com2, etc.

I am hoping you can direct me to a thread on how to turn off the activesync daemon. I've done some google searches on the forum and can't find anything (I could just be blind)

Thank you
