What is SSH?

Note, I don't know anything about jailbreaking iPod/iPhones, so don't take me as a source, please.

If you need a SSH client on Windows, download and install PuTTY. If you need a SSH server, you should be looking at a different OS.

With respect, that doesn't help the OP in any way. S/he doesn't know what SSH is, so s/he doesn't know if s/he needs a client or a server.

draperm25, SSH stands for Secure Shell. It's a way of exchanging data over a secure connection between two remote computers.

As to whether or not you need it, just follow the instructions for jailbreaking. If they say you need it, you need it. Certainly, the method of jailbreaking the OOB 1.1.2 to be found on hackint0sh requires that you install OpenSSH once you've downgraded to 1.1.1 and then updated to 1.1.2 again.

If you're worried about warranties etc and want to keep your iPhone as standard as possible, don't jailbreak.

He registered solely to post that. Also given his username and the site owner, I bet he owns the site.
