ssh doesn't have commands, as such. And Terminal doesn't use ssh. What you have is a shell prompt. You can do things like ls, cd, cp, mv.. Unixy stuff.

"top" is a pretty nifty command. it shows you all the processes running on your phone.

other simple ones would be:

ls - list everything in current directory

cd - change directory

pwd - print working directory

mv - move

cp - copy

whoami - tells you what user your are running under. on your iphone, obviously "root"

Code:
$ ps ax | less
