i remember back when i had my iphone 1st gen it was WinSCP, is that still the best recommended?

i cant stand inputting ip address, name and pass everytime especially when im on/off playing around with a theme lol
 
I still use WinSCP works great. And why don't you save your session so you don't have to input stuff to log in?
 
I used WinSCP for a while but then discovered iphone explorer. Must faster to connect via usb imo.
 
as mentioned before, for Windows WinSCP is pretty much standard (For using SSH), however if all you are doing is Themes and sounds, you will find that iPhone Explorer and iPhoneDisk are pretty much easier (not IP, password required, not even a wifi connection) connect your phone using the USB cable and mount the drive locally.
 
I get a kick out of all the newbies asking about "ssh apps" and then the conversation turns to basically scp apps.

I personally use Terminal.app for both ssh and scp functions. I know what ~ means though.
 
Does the phone need to be jailbroken in order to ssh? Basically I just want to throw a video into my camera roll
 
im starting to think maybe people just dont like answering the questions i ask? it seems every other senseless question gets answered on this forum
 
thank you black vegeta. now my next question is if i jailbreak and ssh into my phone to throw a video into my camera roll and then restore will the clip still be in my camera roll? sorry for the dumb questions
