TuSSH only supports encrypted RSA keys

Can I connect to my telnet server with TuSSH

TuSSH is an SSH client not a telnet client so no it won't connect. It would be really easy to implement but I haven't done it.

Can you add font X for me.
TuSSH will support mutliple 8 bit fonts, I only made 6. If you would like a differrent you will have to make it and I can then add it to TuSSH. email me for instructions. There is also a tool here

TuSSH doesn't work it just hangs at the opening screen.
Please go to the menu and open a connection.

TuSSH doesn't connect - error packet alloc.
There is a problem with DSA key handling in version 0.80 . If you use RSA keys it should work.

Who drew the Icons and Splash Screen for TuSSH ?
Matthew McClintock was kind enough to draw and redraw the Icons for TuSSH

How do I get character X ?
If you are trying to get a character that is not on your keyboard or you can't remember the grafiti for it use the command line. It's accessible from the menu or "menu-shortcut O". From there you can bring up the on screen keyboard.

Can TuSSH connect to nonstandard ports.
Yes, use "host:port" for arbitrary port connections. After the first "host:port" only the host is required because the port is saved. To return it to the regular port use "host:22"


TuSSH "hangs" with message "generating keys".
TuSSH has not hung. This is what takes a long time logging in. On OS 5 devices this can be as long as 60 seconds. For OS 4 it could be as long as 120 seconds. Please time it.


TuSSH "hangs" after exchanging keys.
You are probably attaching to a host that only supports SSH 2, this should now get reported by TuSSH. Setup your host for auto fall back to protocol version 1 or make sure that TuSSH is using ssh2.


TuSSH says "Connected" but nothing happens.
There are a couple a areas where the connection can fail but doesn't get properly reported by TuSSH, this should be fixed in 0.59
There also seem to be a couple of cases where data doesn't get sent. This will have the same symptoms and should be fixed in 0.61

The collapsable input on my T3 doesn't work.
T3 owners having problems with the collapsable input area should check here for an explanation and fix.

What is TuSSH's license
TuSSH is freeware. It is not open source

Can TuSSH be legally exported ?
This software contains cryptographic code which may make it illegal to use or possess in certain countries.

 I believe that it is legal to export this software from Canada because the Wassenaar Agreement states in the General Software Note:
    The Lists do not control "software" which is either:
    
          1. Generally available to the public by . . . retail . . . or
          2. "In the public domain".
Their glossary defines "In the public domain" as: 
    . . . "technology" or "software" which has been made available without
restrictions upon its further dissemination.
The crypto software has been here in the public domain for quite sometime.

Mirroring or downloading this software in another country may be illegal so check your local laws.
