Anyone got Putty to work on 6600!?

[danko]

I realy NEED this app and the developers states that:

"PuTTY is a free SSH client developed by Simon Tatham and others. This page contains a port to the Symbian OS, with support for Series 60 (Nokia 3650, 6600, and N-Gage) and Nokia 9200 Communicator series (Nokia 9210, 9210i, and 9290). The current version contains SSH protocol support, terminal emulation, and a basic user interface. More documentation is available in the distribution."

So I downloaded it and installed it, tryed to start it and it crashed.
(I think it crashed because it is suposed to record random noice at the first startup.)

after that it's no problems starting the app, but when I connect to my SSH server the aplication exits as soon as it establihes contact...

Anyone who managed to get it to work

I had the same broblem, putty crashed on first start and then crash on connect. I asked from putty's author and he said that I have to delete \system\Apps\putty\defaults file. It worked for me.

EDIT: if this dont help create file: "C:\system\bootdata\errrd" and then start putty. Then send this detailed error message to author.

Put simply. If you don't know you don't need it.... ;)

No, seriously I want to know...
-OK it's a ssh client for the symbian OS

what the hell is ssh?
-ssh is a secure way to connect to a remote command promt on another computer (often one thar runs Unix/Linux since the Win command promt is somewhat limited to say the least...)
