Never edit files in "sudoers.d"!


1. Enable the maemo.org repository by simply clicking this link (you should have it by default if your device is updated)
(if you don't find the files requested below, the extras-testing repository too, manually by entering the details linked here into the app manager.

2. Install the following apps: Open SSH Client and Open SSH server on your N900.
-be sure to enter a "strong" password that you'll remember for Open SSH!
-you should also install the showIP widget for your desktop

3. Download WinSCP, a very nice free SSH client for windows and configure it as follows:



Host name: your N900 ip, get it from over here or install the showIP widget from app manger.
-please remember that it may change on router/modem resets or because of your ISP
Port number: 22
User name: root
Password: a strong one - same as the one entered in Open SSH
Protocol: SFTP + SCP fallback

If this post helped you, please check out the ideas in my signature and cast a vote if you think they're worth it
Is there an App/Program that will enable and disable the SSH protocol when needed, my thinking is that having a server running all the time will be a battery drain, plus within the app the IP address could be shown..

You'll probably tell me the xterminal codes but I'd prefer a whole app - it'll just be easier to manage

Plus is there a way to use the apf protocol used by mac computers?? That way the N900 will be auto discovered by OSX and show as a mounted drive, I had a similar program on my jailbroken 3GS which was awesome...
