my computer is Windows XP
I installed Open SSH.The reason why I want to connect the Iphone via WINSCP is
Normal process of T-zone hacking to my iphone is not working….
I tried to install T-zone hack in Cydia
I have T-mobile and T-mobileweb (T-zone)
APN is vap.voicestream.com ( this is automatic when you installed T-zone hack
BossPrefs is installed.
In short I’ve done everything except for proxy.pac and
preferences.plist…Still my iphone cannot ccess the internet using safari.
I still cannot connect it. -

January 19th, 2009 at 12:54 pm@Shawn : Are the applications in a folder format ? Ex. Applicationname.app format ? It should show up after a Respring or Reboot.
But the best way is to install Applications using iTunes via the IPA method.
