Right a couple of weeks ago i switched to Ubuntu and after a few things i sorted out i thought about ssh

then type in the following;

server: your iphones ip address (found in: settings - wifi - the one your using)

port: 22

folder name: blank

user name: root (password alpine it will ask you when connecting)

then click connect

then you should get a screen saying password type : alpine

then you should get something that looks like this:)

Is there a way to set file permissions on Ubuntu?

@Nasty_Ben: You have chmod installed in your distribution, so use it.

i cant connect with it
is it possibly because im using an ad-hoc network
either if it is or if it isnt could i get some help

*edit*
i also tryed it without ad-hoc on my regular network and it also didnt work

What version of ubuntu is this may I ask? I have Xubuntu 7.10, and can't find connect to server on places..

He used GNOME. Xubuntu = XFCE. Although technically it should be there, I don't know because I haven't used Xubuntu ever, and I haven't used GNOME + Ubuntu in like a year.

scp $FILE root@$IP:/$PATH


ssh root@$IP

@Freakshowpb
Make sure you have port 22 open in your firewall.

How can I set permissions via SSH in Ubuntu?
------------------double post merged------------------
I found it myself.

To SSH through terminal:
ssh root@***.***.*.******Being the ipods/iphones ip address
To change permissions:
chmod *** /var/stash/Applications.B26zNE/AppStore.app ***Being the permissions you would like to set

Right click the directory you want to change the permissions for then click "Permissions" :D

@ stabbyjoe12: Have you heard of GIMP? Crop the images.

Love your Wallpaper btw. Check your PM's ;)

lol yeah the wallpaper is really great...

where have you got it? do you remember?

if so, please post link, want it too :P

sorry guys i havent used linux in like a year so i cant remember where i got my wallpaper of theme
although the theme i would have found on gnometheme
and i found the wallpaper on good ol iptfs:)

First of all thank you for your post! It did help a noob find his way in connecting his new iPhone to his first Ubuntu install. Just one question though: I wanted to put some of my own music as ringtones (trying to avoid paying Apple for music I already paid for! and in case you ask I managed to jailbreak my iPhone) so I dragged and dropped my fav tunes to /var/stash/ringtones through ssh and yet I can't see it on my iPhone,even though I converted it to m4p :-/ any ideas as to why or maybe you could tell me where I can get a good mp3 to AAC converter I could use?
anyways! Windows and blue screen of death is history for me.
Thanks!

looks for a tutorial they have to be in a cetain format and a certain size i think its 30 seconds
use an iphone ringtone maker:)

I am getting an error when i try to ssh my ipod touch 2g. I thought there might be a bad connection between my laptop and the iTouch but i am able to view it through remote desktop. Any idea what could be going wrong?

btw what theme is that?

[edit]
I got it to log in by using 'mobile' instead of 'root' and it saved the private/public keys from the ipod to my pc....then i ended that connection and tried using 'root' again and it worked.

havent got a clue sorry i havent used ubuntu in months
if i were you id try a better distro or even unix :)

Just to clarify this isn't an Ubuntu-specific feature. It will work on any system running a version of GNOME 2, including other Linux distributions as well as Unix systems like Solaris and FreeBSD.

Hi there!

Well, I tried to do it step-by-step but when Ubuntu tries to connect, a message apears: "Server not found at root@XXXXX" (or something like that, sorry for my poor translation...)

So, what's going on?

Help me! Please!

THNX

You can also use the terminal commands:
sudo mkdir /media/ipod
sudo sshfs root@YOURIPODIP:/ /media/ipod

That does the same job :) .
