Ok, so another noob question, I have tried a quick search, but have been a bit rubbish at it.
I'm wondering if it is possible to connect to the N900 and access the terminal on my PC.
I assume that this needs to be done via SSH, for which I use puTTy quite frequently on the PC for managing other devices, but obviously the N900 doesn't appear to do this out of the box.
So, what I need to know is what do I need to do on my N900 to enable this (simple steps if possible, or point me to another post that explains it)
i use it with winscp alot :!

Install Personal Home IP Widget on your N900
Install OpenSSH on N900.
You will be promted to enter a password during installation.
After that, you add the Personal Home IP Widget to your N900 Desktop and connect the N900 to your WiFi at home.
The Personal Home IP Widget will show your IP address.
Enter this IP address in PuTTY on your PC and you are good to go!
WinSCP (to see all your N900 files on PC over WiFi) should work the same way!

However, this will not work very well because of the wifi power saving. To quickly test this, open a terminal in n900, become root and start pinging the pc you'll use to connect to it.
One way to fix this is to completely disable power-saving for your home connection.
A better solution is to use usb networking. This is described here.
