We have already covered how to SSH into iPhone using WinCSP SSH client for Windows. Now let’s see how you can SSH into iPhone on Mac to transfer files over WiFi between iPhone and Mac. Although Mac has built in SSH functionality and enables you to SSH into iPhone using Mac Terminal, it involves command line interface for file transfer using Mac Terminal. So, we’ll be using CyberDuck SSH client for Mac that makes file transfer between iPhone and Mac lot easier. Here is the step by step guide:
Before you Begin: Your iPhone must be on and it is recommended that you turn “Auto Lock” off.
Step 1: Jailbreak iPhone (Using Spirit Jailbreak, Blackra1n, Redsn0w)
Step 2: Install OpenSSH for iPhone from Cydia (Search the Cydia for OpenSSH and tap the Install).
Step 3: You need to know the IP address of your iPhone. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Connected WiFi Network and tap view details to see IP address of your iPhone.
Step 4: Install SSH Client for Windows or Mac. We recommend WinCSP for Windows or CyberDuck for Mac.
Step 5: Download and Install CyberDuck SSH Client.
Step 6: Launch CyberDuck, click “Open Connection”.
Step 7: In Server field, enter your iPhone IP address that you found out in step 3.
Step 8: Enter Username “root” and Password “alpine”.
Step 9: Click “Connect” button.
Step 10: Now you would be able to browse the iPhone file system. To upload files to iPhone, right click desired file and click “Upload”. To download files to Mac from iPhone, right click the file and click “download”.
Now you can transfer files, themes and ringtones between iPhone and Mac using CyberDuck SSH Client for Mac.
Google just launched the beta version of its browser “Chrome” for Mac users. As this is just the beta release, Mac users will have to bear with some lack of app support and limited functionality but they’ll be getting lightening speed with features like Google search right from the address bar. Such features are badly missed in Safari and Firefox for Mac so a large number of users are expected to download Chrome for Mac and use it as their default browser on Mac OS. Importantly though, Chrome for Mac requires OS X 10.5 or later and users will not be able to use Google Gears, using Chrome. This means limited access to Gmail app and other apps that run on Google Gears.
Another drawback that Google Chrome has at the moment is lack of add-on support, something that Firefox has in large numbers. However, having Google at its back, we can expect Chrome to have a big database of extensions and themes some time soon. So all those Mac geeks out there, you can test Chrome for its speed and performance and hope that it comes out of beta soon, although Google products spend a handful of time in beta version. Happy Browsing!
