updated yesterday to 3.1.2 with pwnagetool. so now i want to change the dock graphic and just did what i allways did:

- installed openssh via cydia
- started winSCP and entered the following:
- 192.168.x.xxx, root, alpine, SFTP

get the message "network error, connection refused"

did they change the password? or anything that i am missing?

After installing openssh, did you reboot the iPhone? The SSH daemon starts at the iPhone boot, if you did not reboot, is not started

reboot doesnt help

Search if WinSCP stores the certificates of the remote host. If it does, clean them.

How many times have you tried? When I first SSH into a new device it always takes about 4 or 5 attempts before I can get in....

no sessions or certificates stored.

i know, but it usually says "wait another 15 seconds" but here i get the error message almost instantly. tried it like hundred times, no succes.

Try to reinstall again openssh.
Do you have SBSettings installed? There is a SSH toggle to enable/disable it.

i had toggleSSH on it as well as open SSH. so i removed toggleSSH and reinstalled openSSH, rebooted, tried again, same result.

thats really driving me crazy because i did it so many times with different phones...

this evening i will try it on a mac.

It is extrange... Do you have Terminal installed? If you have it, try to search if the process is launched:

ps aux |grep ssh

maybe its solved by now, but just in case - here is what worked for me

open winscp, edit the connection, check advanced options, in SSH/Authentication I checked "Allow agent forwarding"

and that fixed the issue
