You're really going to need to give more information. Are you getting an error message, for instance?

Try logging in when your home screen is on as opposed to the phone being locked.

Yeah sorry I should have said, its just a timeout error.

Yup I always do this, and normally keep screen unlocked the whole time.

Yup, got the session saved aswell

I've always used the the SCP Protocol. I don't think I've ever got it to work using SFTP?

Make sure you have afc2add

Download ifunbox.

It will let you transfer files much faster than ssh

OP didn't say anything about "transferring file" maybe he want to run some Shelf Commands?

Anyway, check that SSH (OpenSSH) is up an running on the Phone, if you have the SBseeting toggle, toggle it off them on, and also try using mobile terminal (if you have it)

Yup I use the sbsetting toggle to enable/disable SSH. Its real strange sometimes it will connect but normally wont

Still getting issues with winscp found a temp fix that normally works http://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1960 when you login open appstore and it usually connects.

But as I said it still doesnt work everytime. Does anyone have else have issues?

Can anyone help? Or suggest another way to SSH into my iPhone 4?

I had a similar issue with SSH and timing out. Turns out the problem was my router. Unplugging it and replugging it back in after a minute fixed the issue.

Thanks for your advice, tried that and yes it worked once. But I dont really wont to have to keep on having to reboot my router just to connect via SSH to my iP4

Once I connect, if I dont open files in winscp for like 30seconds or so it seems to disconnect itself-not sure why it does that either
