Sounds like your N900 isn't connected to your LAN/WiFi, or you have the IP address wrong.

Try installing the 'personal-ip-address' widget which will display your IP on your desktop, then you can easily see where you should be connecting to.

Did it ever work? You didn't say.

• Reboot your phone, PC & router.
• Setup a static IP address on your router for your phone.
• As 'root' ping the PC from your phone.
• If you have a firewall on your PC. Allow access for WinSCP and ping.

It's my router settings blocked my SSH??

Are you here for help? Then you're gonna have to give details, and read/answer the above two posts.

You can get your n900 ip from the terminal by typing "ifconfig" if "root" is installed or through the ip widget as mentioned above. I have never used winscp, cygwin on windows is just fine. Or for best results (if you must use windows) try a vmware image of any latest linux distro.

Its all a ip related matter I think.

You don't need rootsh installed to discover your ip address - you can run ifconfig as the standard user:
I didn't initially mention using ifconfig as it's 'too verbose' - ie it might confuse the hell out of people.

And yes, this is most definitely an IP related issue.

it looks like this man is not worried about him self (by not giving sufficient detail) as compare to others LOL

First thing first. Have you installed OpenSSH or FTP server on your N900?

The N900 cannot pinged from outside. At least, mine can't, but I can still SSH to it

There's no requirment to do this first. If TCPIP isn't working then your SSH/FTP server isn't going to work either.
