Step 1
Open BossPrefs or SBSettings and Enable the SSH and WiFi if disabled.
Write down the IP Adress.
Boss Prefs or SBSetings has a few switches — SSH is probably already turned on, but
open it just to make sure. WiFi may show as off (even if turned on), go ahead and flip the
switch to ON, your IP address will be shown in parenthesis next to the WiFi switch.
WRITE DOWN THIS NUMBER, you will need it to connect to the iPhone/iPod in the next
few steps.
Step 2
Set Auto-Lock to Never
SSH / SFTP sessions require that the phone be connected to WiFi. When the phone
locks, in order to save battery, it temporarily shuts off the WiFi connection. Because of
this we’ll disable Auto-Lock on the phone for the duration of our session. You might
want to re-enable it after you’re done transferring files.
To do this on your iPhone or iPod Touch goto Settings>>General>>Auto-Lock>>Never
