Hi, I just installed 1.7.3 on my 8100 Perl, and can’t seem to be able to connect because of the following reason: I get this message every time I try to connect: “Writer: no port specified”. I tried to specify it at the host address but nothing worked. By default SSH talks on port 22. Anyone knows how to specify the port? Thanks a million!

I know this is’nt oficially supported right now but i wonder if anyone can help.

I have a Bb curve 8320 runnign 4.5.0.55. I am connected to my wlan on tcp/ip. Everytime i try and access my sshd server i get the following error

Session Error
Writer : tunnel timed out

Which suggests that it never makes a connection. From my laptop i can make the connection.

Does anyone know if this is even possible on the 8320? I am on Orange (UK provider) but as i’m on a TCP/IP WLAN i dont think this matters.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Version 1.6 works like a dream on Blackberry Bold. Thank you very much for this.

Couldn’t get version 1.7 to work (error: “Session Error / Writer: Invalid url parameter”)

Any chance of getting hold of the 1.6 codebase? (Want to adapt it to be a mud client)

Thanks again. Great work.

It works fine on a BlackBerry 9000 (BOLD).

WiFi not connecting though.

Same 907 errors on my new 8800. What’s interesting is that on my first 8800, it worked flawlessly. Something about the 4.2 OS or version of java this 8800 happens to have is the problem.

Karl, thanks for the efforts, but I’m still getting the “invalid cod” message when I try to install the latest development build (1.7.3)

I don’t think I have an issue with internet settings, as I can download other stuff ok, and my gmail client works fine.

OK, well the reason it didn’t generate such a big COD was I stuffed up the preprocessor after upgrading Antenna. So, uploaded 1.7.1 again just now (please try again if you’ve tried already).

@rivviepop Thank you very much for your comment. I’ve been in the dark as to the Blackberry problems, not having one to test with, so I really appreciate your investigation. I have just uploaded a 1.7.1 release in which, actually, rapc didn’t have to generate such a big COD… not sure what that means but I’d really appreciate BB users attempting the 1.7.1 release and letting me know through comments here…

For those having the 907 errors, the JAD file on this website is corrupt (of sorts), it contains conflicting entries for RIM-COD-URL-1 and the size (in fact it states two sizes for one file, one is right and one is actually the size of a different COD file). If you download all 4 install files with Firefox, fix the JAD file by hand then download them from your own webserver OTA to device it works fine.

Download these:

http://xk72.com/midpssh/v1.7.0/midpssh-bb-midp2-ota.jad
http://xk72.com/midpssh/v1.7.0/midpssh-bb-midp2.jar
http://xk72.com/midpssh/v1.7.0/midpssh2-1.cod
http://xk72.com/midpssh/v1.7.0/midpssh2-2.cod

Edit the JAD and delete these three lines at the top, leave the other 4 that look like it at the bottom alone:

RIM-COD-URL-1: midpssh2-1.cod
RIM-COD-SHA1-1: 21 d7 77 87 38 ba 98 19 6d d1 8f 71 d1 5c 3a 09 28 d1 8f 96
RIM-COD-Size-1: 20276

Upload all 4 to your webserver that is properly configured to serve up BlackBerry OTA installable files, and you’re set.

I read somebody’s earlier post about managing to connect to his ssh server over a wap access point, using the newest devel. Version 1.7.0. I haven’t found any guide of the sort. Nor the midpssh site was helpful. Could someone tell of how to configure the app. To connect over wap? Thank you.
