hi all. firstly, i love my n900. a few things, i installed openssh on my n900 but clicked next to where i was asked to enter a password and the dailogue box disappeared. i therefore have no password on my openssh even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

secondly, i used to use cyberduck to ssh into my iphone to install themes and icons. how do i go about doing this on the n900? the ihone had a default password "alpine". does the n900 have something similar?

i really want to install some new icons and fonts on this beauty!

To use ssh on a Mac, you can simply use the ssh command in a terminal. It is installed by default. About the N900 part, I'm not sure this works (can't test it, as I'll get my device tomorrow), but try this: run "dpkg-reconfigure openssh" as root in a terminal on the N900. This should show you the configuration dialog again.

I did this last night funnily enough using Cyberduck too, also trying Fugu as well, both work very well.

What I did was change the root password to begin with. You can do it by entering

sudo passwd root

into the terminal, and you get to change the password in the next step. Note you wont see anything when you type.

Then in Cyberduck, just enter the IP address for the N900, make sure its port 22, username is root, and the password is what you just entered. This should work!

I'm not familiar with the terminal at the moment, but someone posted that before and it worked for me. Maybe search on re-setting the root password may help?

Well, that's because sudo asks you to enter the current root password (I assume). If you just clicked next when you were asked to set a password, you might now have an empty password, so try to just press enter when asked for a password. Then you should be asked to enter a new password. But as I said, I haven't tried it myself as I don't have a device.

For root password:

Code:
sudo gainroot
passwd
(actually, it might work inline as well)

For user password:

Code:
sudo gainroot
passwd user
In xterm on N900... After setting your password(s) everything should be fine and dandy.

Try adding port number after that, e.g. sftp://root@19.0.2.7:22
