[SOLVED] Ssh

OK, here's the deal: I've got a first-gen jailbraked iPod touch running on the latest firmware (2.2). I use a P2P app (MewSeek) for my on-the-go music needs (before you get all legal, iTunes music downloads aren't available on my country, this is the only way I can get music downloads). This is very cool except for a tiny detail: the music doesn't sync-back to my computer. I usually use a graphical SFTP client for syncing back stuff on Windows (WinSCP), but I couldn't find a better chance to learn some stuff on terminal. I SSHed onto my iPod using this guide and then used a quick tutorial for basic terminal inputs (ya know, moving, copying, deleting, replacing files and stuff...) Anyways, this worked amazingly fine for working with files *inside* my iPod, but I didn't had much luck getting stuff out. So I was kinda hoping you guys could help me out here... :)

Here's what I achieved: (the files I want to get are in .../Media/Downloads

paco@Paco-Ubuntu:~$ ssh root@192.168.1.102
root@192.168.1.102's password: 
Paco-s-touch:~ root# cd /var/mobile/Media/Downloads
Paco-s-touch:/var/mobile/Media/Downloads root# 

Soo, yep, that's pretty much it: I can move files around on the device, but can't get them out... PLEASE HELP! :)

Thanks in advance..

Try something like this from your ubuntu computer:

scp root@192.168.1.102:/path/to/your/file/you/want/to/copy /destination/directory

Replace the paths with their custom values, You can even copy whole directories using the -r flag. See the scp man page for more details.

paco@Paco-Ubuntu:~$ scp root@192.168.102: /var/mobile/Media/Downloads copy -r /home/paco
ssh: connect to host 192.168.102 port 22: Connection timed out
cp: cannot stat `/var/mobile/Media/Downloads': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `copy': No such file or directory
cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/paco'

:S, It seems weird to, I mean, I usually have to enter a password for accesing the device... Oh, and is "copy" a normal command? I was told to use "cp" instead.

scp -r root@192.168.1.102:/var/mobile/Media/Downloads /home/paco

scp is secure cp which uses the ssh (secure shell) protocol to "cp" files between different computers.

It worked great! thanks A LOT!!

You can also run the command sftp root@192.168.1.102 I would, however, recommend sftp paco@192.168.1.102

Sftp allows you to browse both folder trees and gives you the ability to move files between devices.

Do it with a GUI: Go to the places menu Click "Connect to Server..." Select SSH fom Service type Input 192.168.1.102 to the server field

Thanks A LOT men... I forgot how everything was actually built-in on the OS... Anyways I wanna learn more terminal stuff so you'll see me again asking for stuff...
