Get full access over your N900 file system in 3 easy steps!
Watch out what you replace or delete or you might end up with a bricked device!
Always make a backup first!
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
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...

the daemon is not "running" when there are no connections, it's idling - it doesn't consume any cpu cycles.

If you don't need it, just type show ip in google and pick a result.
"APF" is a make-belief protocol only used on mac but there should be other softwares supporting the more common protocols available for mac as well.
Check here for mounting the folders of your N900: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=10
WinSCP (and other SCPs too) is not an explicitly used for mounting a folder as it is a rather complex wireless file manager.
Please be so kind and don't quote my whole post, it's a little big don't you think?

Thanks for the guide.
Couple of questions though:
1) The repos have a client (installed), server (installed) and an extra "client and server" which is now 2kb. Do I need this too?
2) How do I set a password on the N900 for openssh? I'm not prompted to on install...
Thanks!

OpenSSH installs and asks for pw automatically and that's it.
SCP doesn't need root permission.

the package with both is just a metapackage to install the two other packages at once.
