After looking for quite some time I found this in another forum: iPhoneTunnel, which allows you to connect to the iPhone or iPod touch via SSH over USB iPhoneTunnel for MacOSX web.me.com/novi.mad/page2/page2.html This is the equivalent to the "iPhone Tunnel Suite" that is for Windows There seems to be a solution for Linux, too - but I didn't test that one iTunnel for Linux www.cs.toronto.edu/~jingsu/itunnel (copy&paste, link doesn't work because of the tilde "~") For all the requirements on the iPod touch or iPhone and on your PC/Mac check out these posts: SSH How To SSH With iPhone Tunnel Suite (No Wifi) TUTORIAL: SSH via USB Now you can finally have the full SSH (and SFTP) power via USB-cable on Mac OS X - isn't that sleek ?! If you don't know or care what SSH or SFTP is then just don't bother (S)FTP clients for MacOSX www.pure-mac.com/ftp.html Edit: The link for the Linux version was not working when I wrote this post using Opera on Mac OS X, so I made a tinyurl and now I had to see that -when clicking it - you get: This link has been posted without permission and/or is not in accordance with our official rules or off-site linking policies. Sorry, you may not proceed. Then I changed the post with Firefox under Windows using the original link (tinyurl was dh3h5m - just if you wanna check) but it still didn't work, seems to be a problem with the tilde "~" In the end it luckily worked using Safari (MacOSX) so I didn't have to try IE Edit2: Now it's messed up again - I don't get it... I included the url for the Linux version for copy&paste
testing links http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~jingsu/itunnel/ http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~jingsu/itunnel/ Clicking the link doesn't work for me... If someone succeeds, tell me how to make this a hyperlink
SSH via USB on iPhone 3.0 I read in passing in a comment on the dev team blog that this will not work with OS 3.0 and furthermore, someone said that if you try you will ruin the jailbreak and have to restore the phone. (Cannot find this now.) I'd like some clarification on this, please. Also I would like to know if the obstacle is the USB connection itself. What would happen if you ran the commercial application DiskAid (for Mac/PC) with its companion iPhone app, FileAid? The author of iPhone Tunnel 2.0 for the Mac has a blog in Japanese. Running that through Google Translate, it appears to say it has something to do with the new tethering (TEZARINGU ;-) and that: What does this all have to do with the DevTeam?
Until novi's iphone tunnel works again... (Obviously, works only if you have SSH or another server installed on your iPhone/iTouch.) 1. Download iPhoneSSH.tar.bz2 (~25KB) from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/316653216/iPhoneSSH.tar.bz2 (MD5: 9cd9253f1170587bc00d9f87e12402d8) or Download the latest usbmuxd distribution from here: Abort, Retry, Hack? usbmuxd 2. Unpack to a convenient location (you just need the "python-client" folder if you downloaded the usbmuxd distribution) 3. Open terminal, change directory to the python-client-folder and type: python tcprelay.py -t 22:2222 & (the -t is for threaded-mode, meaning that you will be able to open more than one session/forward more than one port (as shown below)) 4. Now open Fugu or another terminal session and connect to localhost @ port 2222 i.e. like this: ssh -p 2222 root@localhost Enjoy SSH over USB! Additional info in the author's words: further: Drop Héctor Martín Cantero a line saying thanks for those <finishing touches> here: hector@marcansoft.com Enjoy! Tested and confirmed working on 10.6.2 and iPhone 3.0-JB.
