SSH problem with 4.1

[tjb5099]

I am not sure why nothing is working, but I am unable to ssh into my phone it just wont connect, I've even tried mapping the drive through I think I tried quickoffice, it still wouldn't connect. I also tried iFiles web server and that would not connect.

I am connected to the same wifi, I have openssh installed any ideas why this is happening?

did you reboot your device?

[iYeow]

You have to install mobileterminal too. Then type ssh [email protected] ( this is your ip address on your phone of your router)
Wait.& wait. until the key is generated.
Then type Yes
Then type Alpine
Then type passwd
Key in your new password : xxxxxx
Retype again : xxxxxx
Now you can ssh into your iphone.


You can use WinScp to browse your files.

Terminal doesn't seem to want to work on 4.1, also is this something new? I never had to do this on 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 4.0.1 on my 3GS

Edit: I have done those things on mobileterminal and my winscp still fails to connect.

tjb - I have same problem with SSH... but iFiles web server
works fine. I think there is a problem with OpenSSH @ 4.1...

stable version of mobileterminal won't work under OS 4.1.
You can find beta version on other repos than modmyi/bigboss
(ie. XSellize repo) - it works perfect.

What are you using to connect and what is the exact error message displayed? Do you have WinSCP? Can you ping your iphone from your PC?

[Chepry]

What are you using to connect

PuTTy, WinSSH, WinSCP, Telnet - I've tried everything...

and what is the exact error message displayed?

"connection was unexpectedly closed by remote server" or similar

Do you have WinSCP?

yes I have

Can you ping your iphone from your PC?

yes I can (and there is no problem to connect iFile web server)

Anyway - I've just solved the problem, but I don't know what exactly was wrong [I reinstalled OpenSSH and reboot device several times, finally I installed BigBoss Recommended Tools - an it magically started to work]

i have also a problem with the combination of iphone4, 4.1, greenpoison.
i've installed openssh and mobileterminal,.
mobileterminal just exits on start.
i've de-installed both more times. but nothing.
no connection from pc with putte possible.

i have no idea whats wrong.

OpenSSH is having some problems here too, since the 4.1 upgrade.

I have managed to install mobile terminal, using the beta.

[DevouredDreams]

Sorry to hear that guys im on 4.1 with it running great

[screwedx]

ok, i have now after more reinstalls a connection with putty...
but the mobile terminal is everytime just quitting.
maybe there's a new version in near future...

same problem here. I think the issue is with some compatibility of openssh with IOS 4.1.
To make ssh work, you need to reinstall it every single time and ssh into your phone right away other wise the same problems starts. After a reboot the ssh will not come back also.....I have restored and JB my iphone4 4.1 twice but this problems remains...
