How to Set up SSH

[dlamin517]

I found this guide on another site and i thought you guys might find it useful

This guide will explain how to ssh into your device. SSH-ing into your device gives you access to system files. The guides below require you to have a router.

Windows​

Step 1. Go to:
winscp.com

-Click on the 'Download' tab
-Download the installation package

Step 2. Install the program and just keep clicking 'next'
-Restart your computer

Step 3. While your computer is restarting install Openssh through cydia. To do so open up the Cydia App. Click on the search button. Then type in: openssh. Install the item that comes up. Then reboot your device

Step 4. Go to your ipod/iphone and find out your device's ip address. To do that go to:
Settings>Wi-Fi
Click on the little arrow next to the name of the router your connected to
Your ip address should be shown

Step 5. Open up WinScp

Type the following into the designated spaces:

Host Name is the ip address of your device so type that into the space
Username is: root
Password is: alpine
Hit 'Login'

A popup might appear after a few seconds

Click either 'Update' or 'Yes'

Step 6. Type in the password (alpine) again if it prompts you to.

There you go. You now have access to your device.
===============

Mac
​

Step 1. Download Open SSH from Installer

Step 2. Download Cyberduck

Step 3. On your ipod, go to setting then turn auto-lock to never (it will be in the general section)

Step 4. On your computer open up Cyberduck


Step 5. Then click on open connection, where it says protocol, change to where it says SFTP

Step 6. Where it says server type in your ipod's ip address. To find this go to settings then go to wifi ( on your ipod) then click on the blue arrow of the network your ipod is connected to, then it will say ip address.

Step 7. Back to cyberduck. Where it says server type in the IP address you just found.
Username: root
Password: alpine

then click connect.
Sometimes, it takes a few times, to connect, if it doesn't connect, try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, try resetting your router, and BAM. YOU CAN NOW SSH INTO YOUR IPOD.


I hope this helped!

I liked it. I like the part where it talks about how sometimes it takes a few time to connect the first time. That is so true, it happened to me..

Is this still a good way to ssh on windows? I want to change some icons to others ive seen in the springboards and themes threads or make a custom one but until now ive only read about mac programs to ssh. I use winterboard currently and all im trying to accomplish so far is pick and choose my icon graphics. I also want to mix some of the themes maybe but i think i have to go to another thread for that. Thanks for any advie.

Here's another guide. It recommends Fugu, but I like Cyberduck better.

The site also has a ton of other good info for the jailbreaking newbie. It helped me learn a lot when I jailbroke for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Enjoy....

Oh i thought fugu and cyberduck were for mac. I have been looking at a lot of things on hackthatphone.com. Just seems that a lot of it references to mac. My guess is the steps are the same just need the right utility to connect to the iphone. Thanks for the iphone browser links. I'll check those out.

Oh and do you guys know if its better to mod the themes that im trying to use to mix or just mod the original apple icons themselves?
