The update to OpenSSH 6.7 disabled a number of cipher types by default, as seen here:

TinyTERM was updated to include the newer, more secure ciphers. Those software versions include:

TinyTERM Plus for Windows version 4.10.0
TinyTERM Lite/Plus/Enterprise for iOS version 3.0.0
TinyTERM Lite/Plus/Enterprise for Android version 1.2.8
TinyTERM for Mac version 2.1.0

If your version of TinyTERM is older than the versions listed above, please visit our online store for upgrade information, or contact our Sales department at +1 801-268-3088 option 2.

iOS 7 introduced a number of changes. This causes TinyTERM ITX products — TinyTERM Enterprise, TinyTERM Pro, TinyTERM ITX 2, TinyTERM ITX 3270 and TinyTERM ITX 5250 — to behave differently than under prior iOS versions. In addition to cosmetic issues stemming from the look-and-feel changes in iOS 7, the following issues have been identified:

• The title bar at the top of the screen overlaps the status bar.
• The content window, emulator or browser, is 20 pixels too short.
• The top iPhone configuration color selector displays behind the title bar.
• Enabling certain Debug Settings can cause an application exception.
• Username and password popups don’t accept input, requiring that these items be saved in the configuration.
• The Connect button fails after changing the printer settings from within the configuration.
• Bluetooth devices such as keyboards and scanners drop characters.
• With Hide Title Bar turned on, the “show titlebar” arrow overlaps the status bar.
• Print alignment is incorrect in some jobs.

Note that development on TinyTERM for iPad v1.2.5 and TinyTERM ITX for iPhone v1.0.2 ended in June 2012. These products will not be updated for iOS 7 compatibility.

TTIOS-160

TinyTERM for Mac includes a “Close on Disconnect” option. This causes TinyTERM to close when the current session disconnects. However, it fails with SSH connections, leaving TinyTERM open but disconnected.

CR 1105

TinyTERM ITX products for iOS support both telnet and SSH connections. However, only SSH2 is currently supported. Century Software has had a request to add SSH1 support.

CR 1059

The optional ~/.ssh/config file allows users to configure server by alias, include the username, and set many other options. Connecting to a host system via this locally-stored file speeds up the process. Century Software, Inc., has received a request to implement support for this on the Mac.

CR 1032

Century Software has received several suggested enhancements for the passphrase used by RSA and DSA keys:

1) Prompt for an optional passphrase when creating keys. When attempting to use the keys, prompt for that passphrase.

2) Optionally allow user, when entering their passphrase, to select to “remember this passphrase”, for “this session only” or “forever”.

3) Allow the user to delete a remembered passphrase.

4) Regardless of whether it is remembered or not, never display it. Use dots or similar to hide the passphrase when generating the RSA or DSA key. This was implemented in TinyTERM for iPad 1.2.4, and TinyTERM ITX for iPhone 1.0.1.

CR 993

Configure an SSH connection for an RSA key on TinyTERM ITX for Mac. Add the public key to the host system. As soon as you try to connect, the message “Error reading private key” comes up. Password and keyboard-interactive both work.

CR 989

When using SSH with username/password or challenge-response (keyboard-interactive) authentication, TinyTERM for iPad will not connect if the password is blank. It expects a password to be entered, and the connection fails without it.

CR 984

In TinyTERM ITX for iPhone, generate an SSH key. When that finishes, select the option to email the public key. After the email has finished sending, it returns automatically to TinyTERM ITX. But the title bar is missing and with it, the Settings button that allows you to move back a screen. You have to close TinyTERM ITX and reopen it to get that title bar back.

CR 960, fixed in TinyTERM ITX for iPhone 1.0.1

When making an SSH connection using username/password authentication in TinyTERM for iPad 1.2.1, the app hangs and the keyboard disappears after entering the password. This does not affect public key authentication.

This is tied to challenge-response authentication on the host. If that is enabled, then the connection hangs.

The best fix is to update TinyTERM for iPad. Version 1.2.2 resolves this issue. If you do not wish to update, disabling challenge-response authentication will also prevent the error. To do that, search for this line in the host’s /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

It may be commented out with the # symbol. If so, remove that symbol and change yes to no:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

Restart the SSHD daemon on the host after making this change. The connection will work properly at that point.
