Alright, I figured this would be a worthy little tip since it's not included in Installer.app. Note: This will not show up on springboard.

First off, download this file: http://shouldbefree.net/upload/screenshot
Zipped version if above doesn't work: http://shouldbefree.net/upload/screenshot.zip

Next, SFTP to your iPod, place it in the /Applications directory, as usual.

This tool can only be ran via an SSH to your iPod. So, open an SSH run a CHMOD to correct the permissions:
Code: 
chmod -R a+x /Applications/*

Lastly, run the command in SSH:
Code: 
/Applications/screenshot

Go retrieve the file at the location it specified on your iPod when it executed.

Enjoy!

Well there's an upside: What if you want to take a screenshot of an application that's running? How do you execute it if you can't access your Springboard without leaving that application?
 
man this thing is awesome!!! here's what's on my iPod haha i've gotten most of the to work...

Open up Terminal.. it's in /Applications/Utilities on your Mac
issues this command: ssh root@'your iPods IP address'

Example: ssh root@192.168.1.5
enter your root password (the default is "alpine")
then run your chmod command

Hi, new to the forums. Trying to get this to work and I keep getting an error message.

I've jailbroken the touch and it works just fine. I've got iNdependence to SFTP. Not sure if any of this matters but just trying to give any relevant info...I've downloaded BSD Subsystem Ver. 1.5, Installer Ver. 3.0b4, SummerBoard Ver. 3.0a11, Community Sources Ver. 3.0, and Term-vt100 Ver svn198.

So I download the screenshots.zip and it shows up as a quicktime file. no problem I just change its extension to .app (I'm assuming?). Then I load it into Applications via iNdependence. Run the chmod and everything like its outlined. When I type /Applications/screenshot I get the error message...

zsh: no such file or directory: /Applications/screenshot

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Ok, so I got it to work, now it says "screen shot is located at /tmp/foo_0.png"
I've got no idea how to retrive this? As I said before, total newb here and sorry for the probably mundane question but I'd appreciate any help :)
