Gonna keep this as simple as poss, but if you want the full-fat info on what SSH is all about... Here's the WIKI link to SSH, SSH is a secure network connection which can be used on your jailbroken iPhone to transfer stuff over wifi. I've included steps to change the root password, all iphones ship with 'alpine' as the default password, making them easily hacked, but this fats-out the guide a bit. (there has been reports of malware targeting iphones with default SSH passwords in the news) ARTICLE HERE
On your phone...
1 Install OpenSSH and MobileTerminal from cydia (Should be in the default repos)
2 Restart phone...
3 Launch 'Terminal' from your phone, you'll get a screen that looks like this ;
Type in su (return)
Enter password : alpine (return)
Type in passwd (return)
Now choose a new password (at least 5 chars) and verify it.
We're done with terminal now, exit... you can even un-install it if you like.
4 If you have SBsetting installed, you'll get a toggle for SSH in the SBS menu, if so, make sure it's on..otherwise, no worries, openSSH hides out-the-way.
5 Turn Auto-lock off for now, SSH transfers will fail if phone goes to sleep.
6 Connect your phone to your wifi network, and note the phone's wifi IP (settings/wifi/ expand network tab). Must be on same network (router) as computer you're gonna use to transfer to/from. (computer can be wired/wireless, doesn't matter).
On PC....
1 Get WinSCP FROM HERE, and install it... default options are fine.
2 Run WinSCP and you'll get a login screen...
HOST NAME : use your phones wifi IP ( 192.168.0.102 for me)
PORT NO. : leave at 22
USER NAME : root
PASSWORD : the password you chose in terminal
You can then save these login details to save time in future... click login.
Ta-da.. in the right panel is your phone's directory structure.
