First, you have to make sure you have "openssh" installed in cydia.

Second, go to http://www.winscp.net (i'll have it in the video description) and install the program.

In the "Host name" field you must enter your IP address from your ipod/iphone.
Settings then Wifi
You have to be connected to WiFi and you click the blue arrow next to your connection.
The username is : root
The password is: alpine

Once you have that stuff entered in. Press login.

I will first show you how to get ROMs onto your ipod/iphone.
If you click on your for example "NES" application you will see a message saying upload ROMs to
/var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES
To do this you must navigate to that folder. You can do this through winscp. As you can see we are currently on the /private/var/root folder.

When you create the folder it must be exactly "ROMs".
Inside of the ROMs folder we must create another folder called "NES"
Now as you can see both paths match up we are now on /var/mobile/Media/ROMs/NES
We can now drag and drop NES ROMs into this folder. I have downloaded "megaman 6" just for this video.
Now, on your iPod/iPhone just reopen the NES application and there you go! You now have a playable NES rom.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Also, using WinSCP i'll show you how to add Themes to Winterboard that you downloaded from any ipod/iphone theme site.
You need to get to /private/var/stash

You will see a Themes folder. click on that.
This folder contains all your Winterboard themes.
Now you can drag themes into this folder
If you click on WinterBoard now, it should be in there!

Let me just set the theme and show you guys that It does in fact work. And there we have it.

That's all for this WinSCP tutorial. If you have any questions please do ask. Check out my blog for great information(including ipod touch 2nd gen jailbreak tutorial).

  • God some of these people scare me with their comments. They shouldn't be messing around with sash. Haha do you know anything else to do with ash other than themes roms and like ringtones and that. I'm getting bored and need to find something new

  • every single one of my roms crash, Zelda, Mario, Everything??/ how do i fix

  • @ieatdoody You probably have greenpois0n installed, their current version crashes with gpsphone. Sorry.

  • How can I access my music folder thru ssh?

  • Theme wont load when i click on it in Winterboard

  • Thanks, really helpful. Nice detail steps.

  • Thanks ;D

  • hi, where do you get the themes from that you "drag and drop" into the folders?

  • yay it worked =D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @demilishing you double click on the zip file and if you have some sort of expander it should open a folder where it contains the theme itself and maybe some other things , then you drag the theme itself not the whole zip file.

    if you dont have an expander, download stuffit expander, its very easy to use.
