Title: SSH on the Amiga?
Post by: MelbourneBen on July 14, 2010, 05:55:30 AM
Hi,

Can anyone recommend an SSH terminal client that is compatible with OS 3.1?

I want to be able to SSH into a unix terminal.

Cheers

Ben

OpenSSH comes with command line ssh.

That's for OS4.  If you need one for 3.x, go here

The only problem I have with it is CTRL-C breaks the CLI, not the remote session.  Whoops.  Mind you, I have never tried in anything other than the Amiga Shell.

EDIT: The AmiNet icon says OS4... I have not downloaded it to try, sorry.

There's an old 68K SSH version here:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~johane/dev/projects.html

I'm sure their is a newer version around somewhere though... that could work for now though. :)

EDIT: This is a newer version...  not sure if it's OS3.x compatible though...:

If SSH1 is enough, I'd recommend AmTelnet. It has nice GUI with addressbooks and all. For more simplistic, but still having arrow keys etc working without problems, I used to use ssh version of Napsaterm.

What would it take to update AmTelnet?

A late update with working links:

"AmigaSSH is based on version 1.2.26 of ssh and version 3.12 of napsaterm"
https://www.lysator.liu.se/~lilja/amigassh/

openssh-3.9p1.lha

Well... ssh on 68k AmigaOS is just too much pain - the available clients are too old, only capable of ancient, long abandoned protocols and encryption methods, or crazy resource hungry, cumbersome and slightly dysfunctional ports of openssh.

My solution - just don't do it!! Have a *ix system nearby, to which you can telnet or rsh, and then use ssh from there. Personally I have solved this (and many other) issue by installing a Raspberry pi zero inside the Amiga, and then use AmTelnet, telser.dervice + Term, or simply rsh, to the pi, and ssh from there.

Just for fun, I have an alias "ssh" in my shell-startup, which expands to
Code: [Select]
rsh -l kolla 10.99.0.1 ssh -i .ssh/id_ed25519_nopw "[]" so I can send commands to my hosts directly from Amiga shell (10.99.0.1 being the pi - it is also NAT router for the Amiga).

A fun and crazy side project, I am brushing dust off my dopus-arexx skills by writing a dopus5 module that allows me to maintain my cloud servers directly from dopus5 lister. In another module I attempt to bring up, maintain, and destroy kubernetes clusters, from DOpus. All this crazy tinkering thanks to Olaf "Olsen" Barthel being so kind writing and compiling a functional and solid rsh client for Roadshow. Hail hail! :D

To hijack this thread a second.. How have you interfaced the Raspberry Pi Zero to the Amiga?

Two ways, when possible via ethernet. Otherwise, via serial port.
