[TuT] SSH into your iDevice [TuT] - lolzor60 - Feb 14, 2011
Introduction
If you're completely new to jailbroken iDevices, modding and stuff like that, you probably don't know what SSH is.
When you SSH into your iDevice, you can basically look at all the files in your iDevice, from your computer.
This includes the files of your apps, themes, and so on.

Great tut, very detailed. BUT this isn't actually SSH, this is just using a iDevice file browser. SSH is actually using file transfer methods over a wireless network through use of a program such as WinSCP (Windows), or CyberDuck (Mac); no physical connection to your computer is required. Nonetheless a very helpful TuT
