you need a client on your pc, let's say putty for windows and the default openssh client for linux (i can't think of a distro that does not have it by default, at least not one that you would use as a desktop operating system. dropbear is the server part of the ssh thing. Personally, I use ConnectBot so I can shell into the phone, from the phone itself. Including screw your phone sideways if you don't know what you're doing. Login as root, with the password shown on your settings/about page - lo, you have shell access to your phone - and can do whatever you might need to do with a shell. If you have your phone on WiFi, then download putty (on Windows, google for it) and setup a connection to your phones IP on port 2222 Dropbear is just the program (daemon/service) providing the SSH facility on the phone. Your assumption however, is correct - basically it's a " Secure SHell" method of accessing your phone, similar to telnet, but encrypted. The saying goes that if you don't already know what SSH is/does, then you don't need it. What would be the best free software to use on Windows 7 and Linux (Ubuntu)
Does anyone have a URL to (or could post) a good guide which would take me through set-up and use?ģ. What does SSH and DropBear allow the user to do (assumption above!)?Ģ.
From what I can gather (correct me if I'm wrong) is that DropBear allows you to connect to your hero via a WiFi network and allows you to access a terminal remotely?ġ. I've searched MoDaCo and XDA forums and have found some guides (that assume a lot of Linux knowlege), but nothing definitive for the Hero and that start from the basics. I've been trying to find some information about how to use DropBear and SSH on the Hero.
