you use winscp on your pc if you want to ssh to your phone

I install the app, but still don't get the SSH method. Just for info.,I jailbroke my phone with the new method. Although I haven't tried the update version of the 1.1.3

Tinman, it worked great, thanks.

My only issue is that my MAIL application won't work. It opens and then closes. I have tried deleting my two mail accounts in Settings and they seem to delete, but when I go back in Settings afterwards they are there again.

I suspect it has something to do with my previous 1.1.3 Nate JB where I had to install the 1.1.3 mailfix from sleepers.net to get passwords to save.

Any suggestions?

Alright, I've had more time to fiddle around with this and I've hit a few snags along the way. I've posted what I've done to fix these small issues for those who may run into similar problems.

Mail Application Doesn't Launch
Problem: Launching the Mail application shows you a white screen and then closes.

Solution: Change the owner of /var/mobile/Library/Mail from "root" to "mobile"

Enter in Terminal: chown -R mobile /var/mobile/Library/Mail

NES, GBA, SNES, PSX Emulators cannot find Roms
Problem: Emulator cannot find Roms when launched.

Solution: Move roms to /var/mobile/Media/ROMs and change the owner of /var/mobile/Media/ROMs to "mobile." Lastly, add a ROMs symlink to /var/root/Media

Enter in Terminal: mv /var/root/Media/ROMs /var/mobile/Media/ROMs
Enter in Terminal: chown -R mobile /var/mobile/Media/ROMs
Enter in Terminal: ln -s /var/mobile/Media/ROMs /var/root/Media/ROMs

BeatPhone cannot find Samples
Problem: BeatPhone states it cannot find any samples when launched

Solution: Move /var/root/Media/BeatPhone to /var/mobile/Media/BeatPhone and change the folder owner to "mobile."

Enter in Terminal: mv /var/root/Media/BeatPhone /var/mobile/Media/BeatPhone
Enter in Terminal: chown -R mobile /var/mobile/Media/BeatPhone
Enter in Terminal: ln -s /var/mobile/Media/BeatPhone /var/root/Media/BeatPhone

When i access terminal, it asked for a login and password. What is that?

Thanks x666x, I used WinSCP to change owners and it now works great.

No probs, but you thanked the wrong person lol! No biggie.

Anyway that timing was pretty cool, when I was done writing I noticed your post was just added to the thread before mine. Makes for smooth readin, heh.

enter this to login:

ssh root@youriphoneIPaddresshere

You'll be asked for a password and the letters will be invisible so be absolutely sure you type this in correctly: alpine

Hit enter and you'll be logged in!

That is normal. I also don't think iTunes is accurate as before I synced any iTunes media to my iPhone I checked free space via SSH. The media partition had only 4 MB (and that was due to the camera roll) even though iTunes claimed there was 195 MB of Other.

"Other" BTW is supposed to be anything on the media partition that iTunes can't recognize. FWIW I've had issues with Other even before ever jailbreaking--under 1.0.0.
