Hi,
my service provider has only ssh (22) and http (80) ports open.
I can use Symbian Putty to login easily but:

What I want is that my Symbian Python application
can talk with my program running in my server's machine.
(I would have no problem if service provider would
allow telnet.)

I could, in principle, study Putty's code and modify it.......
I could set up my own server with telnet open.....

Any better idea, to use ssh port about the same way as telnet port
from Symbian Python code? Too hard?

Thanks!!!!!

Hi big_pig

I don't advice you to use telnet since all data transferred are clear...

The thing you could do is to write some server script in Java, PHP, even Python to send info on the port 80. So you send a request from the phone and you'll get the answer related to the request. That's would be good only if you remote events from the phone.

Using ssh would be best cause secured... A quick search on the net gave me a link to Pyssh who seems to be Python 2.2 compatible.

Thanks a lot lfd,
this link you provied seems promising.
I was not able to find it on my own, I did my best but.....

My service provider is extremely security paranoidic,
could be a pain to get server side script accepted.

I have now been working 4 weeks with mobile progamming
(as a hobby). You and other gurus helping for free¨make everything much easier.
I did a game and a calculator to use for "real calculation",
pharents in an expression to be eavulated are a must to me.

Hi big_pig

This pseudo makes me smile every time!

If you think that your applications can help someone or if you want that other people use them then make yourself a blog and publish them!

That's the best way to get feedback and improve your code quality!

Cheers,
