Build Status

Minimalist terminal emulator, designed by network engineer for network engineers, with unique features for effeciency and effectiveness when managing network devices like routers, switches, transponders and ROADMs through command line interface.

Project philosophy

tinyTerm is intended to be small, simple and scriptable, x64 executable is only 244KB, source code consist of 6 files totaling 150KB, ~6000 sloc, libssh2 is the only external library required to build on Windows 7/10.

User interface design is minimal, main menu shares title bar space, scrollbar hidden until user trys to scroll back, only one dialog for making connections,

Building

Makefiles are provided for building with MSYS2+MingW64/32, also a cmd file for building with Visual Studio building tools.

Makefile   building 32bit tinyTerm.exe for Windows 7/10 using wincng crypto
Make.cmd   command for Visual Studio 2019 build tool

Librarys

libssh2 using release 1.9.0 with pull request #397 for full support of WinCNG crypto functions
        ./configure --with-crypto=wincng
        make install
        
mbedTLS Since Windows XP doesn't have WinCNG support, external crypto library has to be used, 
        download mbedtls-2.7.9, "make WINDOWS_BUILD=1 no_test install", then build libssh2
        ./configure --with-crypto=mbedtls
        make install

Soruce files

tiny.h  header file for all function definitions
tiny.c  winmain and UI functions
term.c  simple xterm compatible terminal implementation
host.c  serial and telnet host implementation, plus http/ftp/tftp servers
ssh2.c  ssh/sftp/netconf host implementation based on libssh2
auto_drop.c COM wrapper for auto completion and drag&drop function
