there's is just ONE minor problem in my case which is that I have a macbook pro which can of course not run exe files as WinSCP is for windows is there maybe another solution for mac users perhaps and WHY can't I replace the ''psfreedom.ko'' file with a program that can do all this by just going in the N900 when connected to laptop with usb cable???
WinSCP+OpenSSH gives access to hidden folders such as /root. Now i've read some people say that you don have to put the files in /root. In my guide, I was following KaKaroto's instructions to put them in root.

While connected to the n900 via USB. just put the files anywhere on your N900 that the Mac can see.

Then on the n900. navigate to that place via terminal and run the script. Like:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/Somewhere
sh psfreedom-enable
make sure you're root first:
Code:
root
or
Code:
sudo gainroot
