I've installed ssh on my jailbroken iPhone 1.1.2 and Macfuse and sshfs on my Macbook, but I can't access the iphone from the Mac finder. When I start sshfs and enter the iPhones IP and "root", then just nothing seems to happen.

I can access the iPhone from the Macbook via the terminal with the command "ssh root@192.168.000.006". Later I also tried it with "ssh root@192.168.0.6", and I suppose by doing so I confused something and therefore I can not access the iPhone from sshfs. May that be possible? Here is some protocol which I got from ssh, which unfortunately I don' really understand:

installations-macbook:~ Meins$ ssh root@192.168.0.6

Can anybody tell me what I have to do to remedy the mess and for connecting to my iPhone form sshfs? On my Mac I cannot find a directory "/Users/Meins/.ssh/". May it be hidden? And if sshfs would work correctly, how then should I see the iPhone in the finder?

I would be grateful for any hint, and please, please try to use layman's terms

Nothing to worry about unless this happens everytime you connect. .ssh is a hidden directory (all . files/directories in unix are hidden, you can see them with ls -a ) . You can edit the file (known_hosts) and remove the second line if you wish .

Excellent! When I draw the textedit window veeeeeeeeerrrrry long, then I could identify the line and delete it. And afterwards I could also connect the iPhone via sshfs to my desktop.

Thanks for the hint.
