Y2K: If you believe that on Saturday, 1st of January 2000 at zero-zero hundred hours will be end of our civilisation, then you will agree that is not important if one free program will work on Doomsday or not. If you still want some "statements", "certificates" etc about Y2K compliance of my program, I can give you that but you will have to pay. I have no plans to be part of Y2K mass-hysteria for free.
If you want to learn more about SSH, click here for README file from SSH distribution or for SSH FAQ.
Here is original SSH home page.
You can download latest SSH version (1.2.26) from original distribution place in Finland.
My version of SSH client under Windows Socket which you can download from some sites around the world is out-of-dated. It will say that it is too old and that you should download new one. If you like to use this old version, just change creation date of SSH.EXE (i.e. touch ssh.exe). Better solution is download la(te)st version via WWW. There are two versions of this program - 32-bit (rev. 2.112) (created February 23, 1999 at 02:49 GMT; size 154838 bytes) and 16-bit (rev. 2.112) (created February 23, 1999 at 02:55 GMT; size 166531 bytes). 16-bit version is not tested (usually it worked for me on Windows 95 (!"#$%&) but I did not tried it on Windows 3.something).
You can also try self-extracting installation package (MD5 checksum d18a72de648427f9e4df636a44c03129). It will, most likely, work, but ... if program is later complaining all the time that it can not find crypto library, try to delete registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\c.igaly\ssh\defaults\CryptoLibrary.
Since I am using Windows NT (!"#$%&) right now, 32-bit version will work on it. At least it will work for me. This, of course, does not mean that it will work for you too. I am not working very seriously on that program right now. As free program, it does not make any money to me, only wasting too much of my time. Because of that, do not expect any major changes in it. However, I will try to fix all bugs reported to me. This program is everything but bug-free. On contrary, it is most likely full of bugs. I hope it will not crash your machine or start WWIII. Anyway, I can not give you any guarantees.
Syntax for starting SSH client from command line is:
ssh32.exe [-o file] [profile]
-o file - capture all output to file file
profile - startup profile name
This program is using Peter Gutmann's cryptographic library. You can download version 2.00 from Garbo archive in Finland. If you have troubles with new version, you can try older one (1.1). Unfortunately, it is not available any more in Garbo archive so I've placed copy of it here. It includes DLL version with patch for bug with DES key length (see below) in crypt32.dll, and original version in crypt32-orig.dll.
Note: There was problem with DES and 3-DES when using cryptlib 1.1 since version 1.1 accepts only 56-bit DES keys instead of 64-bits (DES keys are internally 56-bits, but externally are 64-bits). To fix that problem you can download small binary patch. In am testing 32-bit version with cryptlib 2.1 which is still in beta version. It is working with precompiled cl32.dll from final beta version 0413. I've tried it with several older (0715, 0828, 0118, 0210, 0311, 0317, 0322, 0331, and 0406 ) beta versions. It will, probably, also work with beta versions 0428 and 0623. Older versions that are not (any more) available on ftp.franken.de will not work.
You can report problems to me but (again) without any guarantees. I am trying to make this client working but there are many other things I must do for living.
Note (again): I am distributing this program for free, but not the source. I am ignoring all e-maill messages with request for it. If you do not like such policy, you can always use any other client.
My previous link at University Computing Centre in Zagreb, Croatia was heavily overloaded so I've created alternate page at GeoCities. Imperial College in London is much better connected so you will(most likely) not need this alternate page.
