Need help with sftp & installing packages

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: cokeman73

I'm going to start at the beginning so I make sure I cover everything that I have done.

New O.O.B 1.1.2 iPhone
Activated it (with AT&T already)
Upgraded to 1.1.3 through iTunes
Downloaded ZiPhone 2.2 using it to jailbreak only.
When it was done I had 2 new icons a Blog icon & Installer icon

Went to Installer it showed v3.0
Installed BSD Subsystem v2.1
Installed OpenSSH v4.6p1-1

At that point I tried sftp I have winscp I keep getting 1 of 2 error's
1. No response for more than 15 sec. I let it wait then it just shows failed

2. I get the password is incorrect, I have tried both alpine & dottie. using root as the login name.

So I searched & found that I may need another app ncftp I try to install it & always get failed to download error.


Now I'm lost & after reading so much, even more confused about what works & what doesn't. I want as much freedom to customize the looks of the UI as possible. I would also like to have nes emulator, & a few other apps. But my main thing is the looks. So now my questions.

1. Would it be best to just start all over getting my phone back to 1.1.2 & jailbreak it then?

2. Since it's already jailbroken if I connect to iTunes & do a restore will it brick my phone? (It's not unlocked)

3. What is the easiest route to go here?

Thank You for any & all help you can give me.

After you installed openssh, did you restart the phone and computer? I had similar issue and when i restarted both, it got it connected.

Yes I shut both down & tried again. I was just looking through some info & saw a screenshot of iphone. It has an ssh icon on it. My has no ssh icon could this be part of the problem or all of it?

The SSH icon you see is the SSH icon you get when you jailbreak 1.1.2 using conceited software's jailbreak package. You can check if SSH is running by installing something like BossPrefs.

The password for SSH should be 'alpine'. You may have to install the SUID Lib Fix in the 1.1.3 Tweaks - I know I couldn't log into Term-VT100 until I installed that, and it might be the same for SSH.

Drakkhen, I installed BossPrefs (nice app) SSH was on. So I installed the SUID Lib Fix. That fixed it. & yes the password was 'alpine'.

Thanks so much duceduc, & Drakkhen for your help. Now I can add the themes & nes roms.

I do have another question regarding the Roms. I have a bunch for my pc are these the same for the iPhone nes emulator?

EDIT: Never mind tried it & it worked. Thanks again for the help.
