Hay everyone!

And dowdloaded the SSH or BBSSH and installed it succesfully to.
I have a Big Question to ask lol.

A player on a mud game (mud name = Aardwolf) is using this client to connect to aardwolf and he plays the game thru there

Q: how do I?
What setting does he have or port/gate to connect to aardwolf

I am not good at trobleshooting at all and would love help. Please. And thank you :p

Hi everyone.I successfully download and installed midpSSH and BBSSH.
i followed all the settings that is on this thread but i still get an error.
for both midpSSH and BBSSH i get this error: Session Error Writer: Timed out

im assuming that i got all the settings correct because its trying to connect.
on the other hand, i really dont know how this works on the server/computer side.
i am using freeSSHd as my gateway to access my pc. i tried using puTTY and it worked just fine.

i just dont understand what else am i missing or what is wrong why i cant connect to my computer.

how do i set up my computer for me to be able to access my files using my blackberry bold 9700?

Hi Steve B – I recommend instead using bbssh. Bbssh is free and open source, is actively developed, designed for blackberry, and has its origins in midpssh.

You can grab it at bbssh.org; or you can try out the latest beta (recommended) at http://dev.bbssh.org/bbssh (visit from your bb to download OTA)

If you still have connection problems then, use Send Feedback from within the app and I’ll be able to help you out directly.

Hi Ramesh-

I’ve successfully downloaded MidpSSH v1.6 onto my BlackBerry and created a session profile. When I attempt to make a connection, I receive the following error:

!Session Error
Writer: Invalid URL parameter.

Any insight you can provide to resolve this matter is appreciated. Thanks.
