PSPSSH is a SSH2 Client on the PSP written by Ludovic Jacomme (aka Zx-81).

It is a port of Dropbear version 0.48.1 originally developed by Matt Johnson and the terminal Vt100 emulation part of PSPSSH is based on the work of Danzel's Telnet client for PSP.

Installation

Unzip the ZIP file, and copy the content of the directory fw1.5 or fw5.x (depending of the version of your firmware) on the /PSP/GAME/, or /PSP/GAME5XX/ if you use Custom Firmware 5.0-M33.

User guide

Generate random seed

The first time you launch PSPSSH, you will have to press PSP keys randomly, to generates random numbers that would be stored in file (random.bin).

Those numbers will then be used for your ssh connections.

After choosing your WiFi access point in the WiFi connection menu, you will then have to enter ssh connection parameters to create a connection.

Create a connection with user/password

You can save your parameters in a binary encoded file if you want using the Save menu.

Host - The name of the host you want to connect to.
User/Password - The login and password for this connection.
Port - By default it's set to 22, which is the standard SSH port but you can change it.

Create a connection with rsa key pairs

If you prefer to use RSA keys/pair authentication, you can put your binary rsa key file id_rsa (generated by the dropbear tool called dropbearkey for example), in the ssh directory of PSPSSH.

Then you have to add the public ascii key in the authorized_keys file on the server side (please have a look to the dropbear, or any ssh clients for details).

Enter the host, user and password (password will not be used but cannot be empty). Enable the option Local id_rsa key, you will then able to connect to host using your id_rsa key file.
If you have already an openssh id_rsa file, you need to do a convertion to use it with PSPSSH using dropbearconvert tool (available on the Dropbear web site).
The id_rsa file should be then stored in the ssh directory of pspssh and called id_rsa (without any extention).

Connect to the server

Then you can connect to the host you've specified using the Connect menu.

If everything is going right, you should see a console with a shell prompt few seconds after.

Enter commands in the console window

In the console window you can use the Virtual Keyboard to enter unix command.

All those commands are written in file command.txt that can be edited using the built-in editor (Edit Command).

You can also use any ASCII-text editor on your PC, and add your own custom commands.

Virtual keyboards

You can enter commands using the either On-Screen Keyboard (by Danzel and Jeff Chen) or IR keyboard.

Edit the pspirkeyb.ini file to specify your IR keyboard model, and modify eventually layout keyboard files in the keymap directory.

Save snapshots and log files

Using the snapshot option will save snapshots to the scr directory in PNG format.

You can also save the vt100 terminal window as a text file in the log directory.
