If you need to edit or transfer files on the iPhone and you are using windows, WinSCP is the program you need. Many people have asked me how to transfer files to the iPhone so I made an easy guide to follow bellow. If you would like me to add anything or have questions please let me know.
First make sure you have ssh and bsd subsystem installed from installer. Next get WinSCP and find your iPhone’s ip by going to (on your iphone) settings > Wi-Fi > “Your selected WiFi” > Look under IP Address- Connect to your iPhone using WinSCP (user: root password: alpine) Change File Protocol to SCP
Just press login after your screen on WinScp
click on the “..” until you see root, then click on the applications folder and put your downloaded .app program inside by dragging and dropping.
To set file permissions(CHMOD) right click on the folder or file and select properties. Most of the time you will have to change the Octal to 0755. If you have any other questions please ask.

Any instructions for Mac users? I managed to get the file from my iPhone using AFP, but could not convert it using the link you provided. When I tried to convert it, I just got another com.apple.springboard.plist file.
I wold like to use this so I can get rid of Summerboard as I only use it for the “Touch” Theme.

Is your iPhone’s Auto-Lock set to “Never”? It could be that your iPhone goes into sleep mode when you are trying to connect.

Hi ,
I downloaded some games recently and accidentally hid the installer. I am trying to use the winSCP to delete some games in order to retreive it but get the network error, connection timeout message. Please advise how I should go on from here and if there is an alternative.
I have not installed the BSD subsystem or summerboard. Thanks.

For an abject newbie, there are three (3) items lacking in this otherwise wonderful tutorial.
I. Where do we get the SSH subsystem?
II. Where do we get the BSD subsystem?
III. Is everyone’s password “alpine”? If not, how do we find our password?
IV. Does this work for an ipod touch?
OK, so that was four questions that were not answered in the tutorial. Given I don’t know the answer to those four (4) questions, can you help me flesh out my tutorial below based on your tutorial above?
Thanks,
Susan
0. I read the tutorial for WinSCP on the ipod touch on a Windows XP PC at:
http://limitededitioniphone.com/windows-guide-to-using-winscp-with-iphone
Note: I was unsure what this meant, so I skipped that step (does it matter?)
“make sure you have ssh and bsd subsystem installed from installer”.
1. I downloaded and install WinSCP freeware onto my Windows XP PC:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
2. On the ipod touch, I found my IP address to be 102.168.1.2:
ipod touch: Settings > Wi-Fi > MY_NETWORK_NAME > MY_IP_Address
3. I started WinSCP & filled out the “WinSCP Login” form as follows:
C:\My Programs\Ipod\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe
Host name = 192.168.1.2
Port number = 22
User name = root
Password = alpine
Private key file =
File protocol = SCP
4. Then I pressed the “Login” button in WinSCP.
I get the root@192.168.1.2 error:
“Network error: Connection timed out.”
Where I can either press “OK” or “Reconnect” no matter what I do.
What did I do wrong?
18 Susan DeAngelillis
// Jan 5, 2008 at 11:13 pm
QUESTIONS:
a. The original tutorial implies we need something called SSH subsystem.
How do we install SSH subsystem on a Windows XP PC?
b. The original tutorial implies we need something called BSD subsystem.
How do we install BSD subsystem on a Windows XP PC?
c. The original tutorial uses a password of “alpine”.
How do we figure out what our ipod touch password is?
d. The original tutorial is for an iPhone.
Does this tutorial work for an ipod touch?

20 Limited Edition iPhone
// Jan 11, 2008 at 3:37 pm
make sure you have ssh installed. You may get an error the first time. Just let it connect and once it asks to accept the keys hit ok.

// Jan 11, 2008 at 3:38 pm

// Jan 12, 2008 at 11:47 am
Hey,
Is anyone listening to all these questions? There seem to be no answers to all of the valid questions. I have tried to connect to my iphone (v 1.1.2 sw) using the Winscp 4.06 and have the bsd and ssh previously installed. I get the errors “connection refused”. CAN SOMEONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS? (yes I shouted…sorry, but this seems to be an issues that lots of folks would like to understand.
Thanks
25 Not So Confused Anymore
// Jan 12, 2008 at 12:27 pm
OK, here is the short and sweet answer to the questions above: You have to “jail break” your iPhone first using iBrickr for WinXP or AppTapp for MacOS. Fun stuff. After you do this and get the “installer.app” on your iPhone you are set to then install the BSD and SSH subsystems on the iPhone so that you can use WinSCP to wirelessly transfer files to/from your iPhone. Sounds easy, huh? Not for the newbie to do, but if you are adventerous with your $400+ toy, you can get the info and tools to do this at: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/guide/short-and-sweet-ssh-guide-for-the-iphone-300323.php
Good luck newbies! Just beware, any of this will void your warranty, possibly brick your new toy, as well as frustrate the crap out of you. If you are an expert at linux/unix stuff and feel comfortable with SSH/BSD/etc then go for it! I havent tried this with my new iPhone S/W ver 1.1.2, but it does work with versions below 1.1.1 so there is a possibility that the Apple crapheads changed the root username to something other than “alpine”. It was “dottie” for older iPhone s/w versions…. Anyone know of a new password?… Oh, I forgot, no one wants to post any answers here to this forum… my bad….
Enjoy
26 Not so Confused Anymore
// Jan 12, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Ok…. You need to run iBrickr or AppTapp (Mac) to “jailbreak” your iPhone and get the installer.app installed first. After this, run the installer to install the SSH and BSD subsystems on the iPhone. Now you can use the WinSCP app on windows to transfer files to/from the iPhone wirelessly. the only unknown is that for S/W versions above 1.1.1 is the root password still “alpine”
???
27 Limited Edition iPhone
// Jan 12, 2008 at 1:32 pm
I beleive the password is based on what version of ssh you have installed. The only 2 passwords are dottie or alpine, unless you changed your password. The first time you connect you have to accept the keys.

It’s a online version of WinSCP. It does the same. Really a handy tool!

// Mar 10, 2008 at 1:41 am
I tried to login in and I got a warning pop up
“WARNING - POTENTIAL SECURITY BREACH!”
The server’s host key does not match the one WinSCP has is cache. This means that either the server administrator has changed the host key, or you have actually connected to another computer pretending to the server.
Then it gives me an option to click Yes, No and Cancel.
I tried both, then it said Access denied and ask me for the session password.
I tried both alpine and dottie and they don’t work.
Can somebody help me with this? Thanks!

48 Limited Edition iPhone

you can transfer programs and stuff straight to your computer. As for contacts, iTunes syncs all that information for you. You could also set itunes up to sync with an online address book.

If you are having the problem of getting the “connection refused” message when trying to connect to iPhone (or iPod Touch) through WinSCP, make sure:
1. that your iPhone or iPod Touch is jailbroken. this will give you the installer application.
2. you have “Openssh” program downloaded on your iPhone. you can get this through Installer.
Also, the user and password for all iPhones and iPod Touches should be:
User: root
Pass: alpine
61 Sarah
// Mar 15, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I forgot to add this to last post. If you are getting the “timed out” message then do this:
1. on your iPhone/iPod go to “Settings”
2. “General”
3. “Auto-Lock”
4. change it to “Never”
This should solve your problem

hi lippy,
make sure u dunt have any firewall turned on or add SSH in ur firewall. By default all firewall blocks SSH connection to any other device, so u might b having the same problem. an example would be mcafee windows firewall is manually configure and that would give you error unless you allow to use the WINSCP on SSH Protocol.
67 Limited Edition iPhone
// Apr 11, 2008 at 3:03 pm
openssh is what you need
68 lippy
// Apr 12, 2008 at 5:57 am
Ok, my windows firewall is off. I reinstalled OpenSHH and I added ’services’ so I could see that the SHH is definately on. I then went back to WinSCP checked all the login details and tried again….it failed…again!
What about in the advanced section of WinSCP there is a connectoin section and Proxy settings there…what should these be? …is that even relevant?
I tried using a programm called Putty too and this failed…
Do i need to have SHH on my PC or something? I’m running out of options here people!
Anyone with any ideas???
Thanks
Luke.

If khairy’s instructions above STILL does not work for you, you will need to change your network settings. In Vista, go to the Network and Sharing Center, then click the customize button. Here, make sure your network is set to “Private”; if “Public” is chosen khairy’s instructions will not work for you. I don’t know where to find these settings in XP, but hunt around in Google and you should find it.
Once your network is set to “Private”, follow khairy’s instructions above but ignore the fact he has just called you a gay for not being as clever as he is.

mkdir /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib
ln -sf /var/root/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

For all those who have version less than 1.1.3 and still want to install Sendsond the following method will be helpful.
1.Download SendSong-0.30.zip from http://ericasadun.com/ftp/Applications/SendSong/
2.Login the iphone using winscp http://limitededitioniphone.com/windows-guide-to-using-winscp-with-iphone/
3.Use “alpine” for authentiating and “dottie” for logginging into iphone
4.Copy the unzipped contents to the applications folder.
5.To set file permissions(CHMOD) right click on the folder or file and select properties.
6.change the Octal to 0755 for sendsong and 0644 for the rest of the files.
7.Disconnect winscp
8.Restart the phone

I’m going MAD! I have installed 2 different versions of OpenSSH (per 2 different walkthroughs), I have reinstalled BSD Subsystems twice and I have restarted my iPod Touch countless times.
I have changed the settings in WinSCP to every possible combination (SFTP, SCP, I’ve changed the timer, etc) and still NO CONNECTION! I keep timing out!
Here’s what I’m working with:
iPod Touch with FW 1.1.4 including software upgrade, jailbroken using ZiPhone. I’ve relocated apps and such using BossTool and I have Services installed. My computer is a Sony VAIO running Windows Vista home premium.
If ANYONE has ANY possible workaround PLEASE email me!!

I have been given a few applications to install on my iphone through winscp and my PC. A few of the applications come with other folders in the zip as well as the .app folder. Does anyone know where I have to copy such folders to on the iphone?
Thanks

It depends on the app. Is there a readme or .txt file included? If so read that.

No Readme file. That is what confused me. I will continue hunting. Thanks

I think I finally figured it out. Most people should have OpenSSH version 4.6p1-2. But you need OpenSSH version 4.6p1-1. I got that version from rep.sosiphone.com.

I also think you need to have it connected to your computer.
