SSH w/o a wireless router?

[LoneWolf121188]

Can I ssh into my iPhone without a wireless router? I tried setting up a computer-to-computer network on my MBP and connecting my phone to that, but the terminal just times out when I try the ssh -l <ipaddress> command.

You have to use it like this..

ssh -l root xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

or

ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Make sure you know the IP assigned to your iPhone.

Not that it is the same issue, but I had everything for SSH apparently setup without issue... but my connections would time out. Anyway, I corrected the issue by doing a restore of the iPhone and *not* synching the data afteward but going directly into installing SSH. Depending on your setup, BlueDonkey rules for easily setting up SSH.
