Install openssh on the Nokia N900

Sometimes you will want to copy files to your N900 using the scp command. Or you may want to work from another computer on your device. To allow this, install openSSH on the N900:

  • settings->application manager
  • tools -> application catalog
  • memo extras -> edit -> un-tag "disabled"
  • close
  • browse installable applications
  • all
  • openssh
  • install

You will be prompted for a password. To test functionality, open a console and enter

ssh root@localhost
