How To: SSH Into Your iPhone

Hello there, thought I would add a simple guide on how to SSH into your iPhone. With this you can customize and move files around that are on your iPhone, you can also install apps this way too.

Please note, this guide if only for OS X.

Before you start:

• Your iPhone must be Jailbroken and must have ‘OpenSSH’ installed and switched on. This can be installed from ‘Installer’.
• You need an active Wi-Fi connection and be connected to it with your iPhone.
• On your iPhone go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Click the little blue arrow next to your connected network. Write down your IP address.

Application you will need:

Fugu

Lets get started -

1. Ensure you are connected to your Wi-Fi network and have done as described above. Also, instal Fugu.
2. Within Fugu, you will see the following screen:



3. Enter the settings as follows:

4. Press ‘Connect’.
5. First, you will be prompted for a password:

   

   This will be ‘alpine’ or ‘dottie’, unless you changed the password yourself at some point.

6. Next, press ‘Authenticate’.

8. Press ‘Continue’.
9. You will now be in the root of you iPhone.
