  2. Install the OpenSSH server on your Jailbroken iPhone using Cydia or Installer
  3. Run iPhone Tunnel Suite
  4. Click on the iPhone Tunnel button
  5. You will see a Command window being launched, Keep it open.
  6. Click on WinSCP or Putty buttons to do easy file transfer etc.

It does more than that!

Once you have established the “iPhone Tunnel
” you can use the iPhone connection to surf
or do e-mail on your computer via the iPhone
3G/Edge network.

What you get, in effect is a Socks5 proxy at
127.0.0.1 on port 1080. Just configure your
clients to use this proxy (à la Netshare)

Thanks for that extended tip Ris!

[...] rather than wireless. I guess you can also use this program as a tether and surf the web too. iPhoneTipZ Blog Archive SSH Over USB Cable without WiFi on iPhone iPhone Tunnel Suite - Home Page __________________ Mactropolis.com Forum [...]
