SSH Client and file transfer

[HaPagan]

I would like to use an SSH client to transfer files to a remote PC. Is there such a program for my PocketPC (iPaq) ; I used PocketPutty but this program is only for remote login and administration...
Thanks in advance!

HaPagan:
OpenSSH CE is another SSH client ported to the Pocket PC. It allows for secure file transfer which is what you are looking for. It is a bit less known and requires more knowledge to use it but it's worth a shot. I haven't used it myself so I can't vouch for it. Here is some information to get you started:
http://www.ebcvg.com/articles.php?id=242 - This page offers a quick review on both PocketPuTTY and OpenSSH CE.

Hope this helps!

I want to use SSH to secure the communication between a PocketPC and linux system. The only thing I want to do is transfer files through a Bluetooth PAN network. I managed to establixh a Bluetooth PAN connection between those two machines and now I want to transfer files using SSH!!!

You didn't state that you wanted to transfer files via bluetooth in your first post so assumed you wanted to just connect to your computer via the internet. If you want to do it this way I'm not 100% sure you can use SSH to go about this. My guess is if you have it set up where you have separate IP addresses for both the desktop and the Pocket PC then you should only have to put in the desktop IP's address and credentials to make it work.
The other way you could go about doing this is using the OBEX File Transfer profile. This will allow you to transfer files between your desktop and your Pocket PC with ease. Here is the information on how to do it with Unix:

The Bluetooth PAN networks work same as the other networks. So, there is no difference either it is a LAN or a PAN. The problem is to find a way to transfer files through secure channel using SSH.

Well, if you have a Bluetooth LAP (LAN Access Profile) set up, then both the device and desktop should have separate IPs. Is and SSH server set up on your linux box? Have you tried connecting to your desktop with SSH via another computer to see if it is set up correctly?

I have installed properly SSH server in my Linux.
Finally, I found a site with some guidance on how to install SSH on PocketPC.

Now, I can connect to my Linux and I am trying to send files ...
It supports scp, sftp, ssh !!!!

Awesome... let usknow if you are able to send files over with SSH via bluetooth! I'm sure we'd all like to know!

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to transfer files using SSH. If someone has a idea, I would be grateful to listen to it.
