TinyTERM Plus 4.10 and higher include the SSH connection type. TinyTERM 4.1x includes only SSH1. Version 4.20 and higher include SSH2 as well. An option to specify SSH2 only at connection was added in TinyTERM Plus 4.31. Public key authentication was added in TinyTERM Plus 4.42.

For help in configuring SSH connections, you can watch screencasts on configuring password authentication and configuring RSA authentication.

In TinyTERM 4.10, the SSH option is grayed out by default. This is due to export restrictions at the time Century Software, Inc., first released the product. You can add SSH by downloading and applying this patch. Download it to a temporary directory, then run it after TinyTERM Plus Edition is installed. It will also work for TinyTERM Thin Client Edition or TinyTERM Web Server Edition version 4.10.

If you have version 4.11 or higher and SSH is grayed out, you have TinyTERM, not TinyTERM Plus. TinyTERM does not include SSH, though TinyTERM Thin Client and TinyTERM Web Server do.

SSH2 is also available in TERM for SCO UNIX and TERM for Linux version 6.28 as a command-line option. The basic command is:

term -lssh:username@host.or.IP

Replace “username” with an actual username, and “host.or.IP” with the correct hostname or IP address.

Century Software, Inc., does not provide SSH daemons for host systems. Check sites such as www.openssh.com for daemons and source code.
