Is SSH turned "ON", on your phone?

Make sure your iPhone is connected to your router and not your neighbors. I have had this happen. It drove me crazy.

Do you have BSD and OpenSSH installed? Are you selecting SCP in the drop-down menu of WinSCP below the username and password?

I used the WinScp before but jave now forgotten how to login. OK, I launch the program, Host Name=my ip address, Port Number=22 default, User Name=root, Password=alpine, File Protocol drop-down menu=SCP, but what do I put in for the private key? Also, does it work with FW 1.1.4? Thanks guys

You don't enter anything in the "Private Key" box.

WinSCP works fine in 1.1.4 as far as I know. I'm running 1.1.4, but have my system.plist edited to indicate 1.1.3 for certain apps to run properly.

get SERVICE app and install. You can find all repositories at www.iappcat.com

Make sure your computer and iPhone connected to the same WiFi

Put in your IP address find on iPhone. Go to the network you are connected too. tab the Blue arrow. write down the IP

Now with ervices app make sure SSH is ON.

Launch WinScp. name ...root PW Alipine set menu SCP you shoud be in. Try this

Same Issue. I was able to use winscp on 1.1.1 unlocked/jailbroken no poblem. Since updating to 1.1.4 using ziphone 2.5c I have not been able to log on. Have tried reinstalling BSD & OpenSSH. Have tried with both SERVICES and BOSSPREFS. Still no luck, any ideas anyone?

Cheers
