iTouch SSH - iPhone SSH - How To

 SSH stands for Secure Shell.
It is a protocol that allows you to access your iPhone or iPod Touch from your desktop PC or mac and execute commands on it (thus allowing you to copy any kind of data to the ipod touch without itunes). It's also used for a lot of customization things if you know what you're doing. I'd highly advise you to install SSH, since it's needed for some apps (for example if you install a GBA emulator you have to get your GBA-ROMs to the touch. this is impossible without SSH).

Use a program like cyberduck on mac or WinSCP on windows and you can browse your ipod like any other hard drive and explore it's content (which can be very interesting).

SSH’ing is a useful skill to know. You can directly install a lot of applications without needing to search and install all on the iPhone, just copy and past the .ipa files on to your device. 

Lets Begin:

• Jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch (Tutorials Here) 
• Go to Settings/General -> set auto-lock to never (If you device locks during SSH it will lose its connection) 
• You NEED a Wi-Fi connection
• Now you need to open Cydia.
•  Search for "SSH"
• Install these two things "OpenSSH" and "Toggle SSH"
• Restart you iPhone or iPod Touch
  

Now These are the Steps From Your Computer: 

 (Mac users use Cyberduck)

• Download and install WinSCP
• Install it onto your computer 
• It will ask you to restart your computer when it is done installing
• Once restarted, run WinSCP
