SSH issues

**mahgninnuc93** · 10-10-2009, 09:50 PM

Hello all, I keep getting a time out when trying to ssh into my phone so I can add a theme.

I out in my WiFi ip address, use root and alpine and keep getting the following error message: "Network error, connection refused"

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you sure that SSH is installed on your iphone and enabled?

**battlecrushr** · 10-10-2009, 09:54 PM

Make sure ur iPhone isn't in lock mode so slide to unlock and leave it like that the whole time

**blkcadi** · 10-10-2009, 09:58 PM

to add......don't let phone sleep either.

**cpjr** · 10-10-2009, 09:59 PM

And make sure the phone is awake

(3rd times a charm)

**blkcadi** · 10-10-2009, 10:01 PM

so let me see, phone can't sleep right? But can I?

**mahgninnuc93** · 10-10-2009, 10:07 PM

Hmmm....unlocked check....no sleep check...SSH showing on SBprefs in a bright and shiny green check....Yep all systems appear to be a go!!!!

Sometimes rebooting your phone will help.

**mahgninnuc93** · 10-10-2009, 10:17 PM

Will do that now...please stand by LOL

OK so I use the wi fi ip address, root and alpine and connection is refused. I am also hooked up via USB if that helps.

Turned it off then back on and got the same error.

What program are you using?

**mahgninnuc93** · 10-10-2009, 10:23 PM

Winscp, I am running a laptop with Xp

It's your firewall bud...... You cant expect Winderz to be intelligent enough to allow the connection past your firewall to the port without telling it really slowly and clearly what you want in your firewall settings.

.........a mac would know what you want it to do.

Go into your firewall settings and allow the ports needed and programs needed. If you can't get it working completely disable the firewall long enough to SSH and figure it out later. The chances of your router doing the locking are slim to none so don't bother with it's settings until you can't so anything doing everything else.

it's not the firewall, since firewalls normally allow any kind of connection in the local network (the windows firewall just allows any kind of connection anywhere

).

uninstall SSH, reboot. install SSH, reboot. then try to connect. make sure you use the correct IP and your computer and iphone are on the same network. also make sure you select SFTP as a connection method in WinSCP, not FTP or something else. that's really important.
then wait. on first connection, it can sometimes take about 1-2 minutes until a connection is stablished.
if you did everything correctly, it will work.

What's the first thing winderz blocks that is part of most ssh aplications and first in this list?

**BlackWolf** · 10-11-2009, 02:53 PM

not getting it ... bonjour isn't part of SSH if that's what you mean. sorry really didn't get what you were trying to say

**one1** · 10-11-2009, 03:39 PM

Connect through bonjour when you aren't able to get your ports open in ssh and make it work. It's simple troubleshooting. If you don't have the firewall setup properly you can't get in either way. You're not approaching fixing the problem the right way.

well, yeah, still ... it's not a firewall issue, so it's not the SSH port. and winSCP isn't capable of connecting through bonjour afaik. just saying ...
