Hey,

This probably may have already been answered, so if it has, will you please tell me where I can find it.

I jailbreaked my ipod touch on a windows computer using touchfree. Now, I am using it on my mac successfully.

I have installed cyberduck to transfer files from my computer to my touch. However, when I click "Open Connection" and enter "root" for username and "alpine" for password, it says my connection failed.

I really don't know anything about this, not even what SFTP means, so any detailed help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure your touch is on and has a wi-fi connection. Sftp uses your touch's wi-fi connection to access its programming

I'm having the exact same problem/question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is iPod supposed to be running a certain app or something when we try to open a connection? and do we leave the settings to port 22?

Make sure you have selected SFTP, not FTP from the drop down menu in the "open connection.." window

I'm having the same problem
The firewalls might be blocking it
Turn all them off and the ani virus software
Then try to connect

Go into the installer app and make sure you have installed Openssh. If you don't have it, download it and it should work.
