I hate ssh too but I usually have other ways to do things. Try this..
Open Cydia and install wget which is a command line program that downloads things and mobileterminal which is a terminal app. Open the terminal and type:
wget http://networkpx.googlecode.com/files/hk.kennytm.grip-0.1-11n.deb
su (then type the root password which is alpine if you havent changed it)
dpkg -i
respring the phone and you're done
try this ... go to xsellize.com and amd register there .. then go to cydia add source .."www.xsellize.com/username.password" and your done you will find grip there.. enjoy
