Windows Phone Thoughts: Mobile Terminal Management with PockeTTY 1.06

I've been using PocketTTY for about a week now, and being able to connect securely to my Rackshack server using SSH is supremely cool! I can connect, start and stop processes, check the server load, and anything else that I can remember how to do from command-line Linux (which isn't much unfortunately). PocketTTY does it's job well.

"PockeTTY™ turns your PocketPC, H/PC Pro, or H/PC 2000 into a portable terminal emulator. Use it to remotely administer your home Linux machine, check your e-mail at work, or test hardware through a direct connection. PockeTTY offers three kinds of connections:

• SSH - Log into a remote machine through a secure connection without worrying about someone grabbing your password. Provides SSH1 and SSH2 support, a variety of encryption methods and MAC's, and the ability to forward ports.

• Telnet - Easily connect to most any remote host in a flash! This un-encrypted connection method is not recommended for login sessions, but for checking on your webserver it may be just what you need.

• Serial - Connect directly to your IR port, configure your network gear, anything that can be reached through a serial line. A real treat for you hardcore geeky types!"
