SSH Access Denied Error

[donm3ga]

Hi all, I am trying to use ssh with my iPhone 3G and its not working. I am using WinSCP. I type in ssh root@<IP ADDRESS>, username is root, password is alpine. I keep getting an access denied error. So I changed my password on my iPhone through the terminal and it still didnt work. I also tried using no username and that still didnt resolve anything.

Im on the verge of giving up and just using a premade theme from Cydia.

Please help.

Did you download Open SSH from Cydia? Also for host name if you put in ssh root@<IP ADDRESS> don't do that. Just put in the ip address.

I downloaded Open SSH from Cydia. I restarted my iPhone. I made sure it was turned on via BossPrefs. I did type in my IP ADDRESS, and not the actual works "IP ADDRESS." Haha!

I don't know why its giving me this access denied error when I know my password.

Any thoughts? Maybe do a restore, rejailbreak it and try again?

Give yourself a quick SSH tutorial.

In the case that you're a Windows user, you obviously won't be using Fugu. Everything else, however, should be universal.

May sound stupid but have you got Bossprefs installed? If you have, have you disabled SSH on it?

I did everything in this tutorial. I am using WinSCP.

I have BossPrefs installed, and SSH was enabled on it when I was trying to connect it. Stated above.

As long as you are entering the correct IP, port 22, and the correct password, I'm at a loss... Are you sure that you're connecting from the same wireless network?

Try creating an ad-hoc network from the computer, and connect to that from the iPhone to see if it makes a difference.
