After seeing your suggestions, I tried writing my own tutorial but failed. Can an ipod freeware mp3 expert help us by "fixing" what's wrong with this tutorial below for ipod touch and iphone users on the Windows XP PC? 0. I read the tutorial for WinSCP on the ipod touch on a Windows XP PC at: http://limitededitioniphone.com/windows-guide-to-using-winscp-with-iphone Note: I was unsure what this sentence below meant, so I skipped that step (does it matter?) "make sure you have ssh and bsd subsystem installed from installer". 1. I downloaded and install WinSCP freeware onto my Windows XP PC: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php 2. On the ipod touch, I found my IP address to be 192.168.1.2: ipod touch: Settings > Wi-Fi > MY_NETWORK_NAME > MY_IP_Address
3. I started WinSCP & filled out the "WinSCP Login" form as follows: C:\My Programs\Ipod\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe Host name = 192.168.1.2 Port number = 22 User name = root Password = alpine Private key file = <blank>
File protocol = SCP
4. Then I pressed the "Login" button in WinSCP. I get the root@192.168.1.2 error: "Network error: Connection timed out." Where I can either press "OK" or "Reconnect" no matter what I do. QUESTIONS: a. The original tutorial implies we need something called SSH subsystem. How do we install SSH subsystem on a Windows XP PC? b. The original tutorial implies we need something called BSD subsystem. How do we install BSD subsystem on a Windows XP PC? c. The original tutorial uses a password of "alpine". How do we figure out what our ipod touch password is? d. The original tutorial is for an iPhone. Does this tutorial work for an ipod touch? | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options freeware. Here is the uncompleted tutorial I hope experts here can fix up so that it works better for all of us newbies. 1. Download and install iPhoneList on your Windows XP PC: http://code.google.com/p/iphonelist/ iPhoneList is a Windows-based folder browser for your iPhone. iPhoneList supports copying files to and from the iPhone (Drag and drop to iPhone), as well as basic file-management functions for the iPhone itself (create folder, delete files and folders). Click on "iPhoneList.0.9.8.85.Standalone.exe" to extract to a folder: 08/14/2007 04:02 AM 35,147 COPYING.txt 01/05/2008 09:37 PM 1,547 iPhoneLinks.config 01/05/2008 09:37 PM 8,343 iPhoneList.config 09/18/2007 03:16 PM 249,856 iPhoneList.exe 09/18/2007 03:16 PM 32,768 Manzana.dll 08/21/2007 05:47 PM 550 README.txt 2. Download and install iPhoneFS on your Windows XP PC: http://code.google.com/p/iphonefs/ iPhoneFS is a small service/app based on WinFUSE that allows you to see the iPhone as a drive in Windows explorer, or in any Windows application. iPhoneFS works by using the AFC service on the iPhone and mapping it to CIFS server functiions, making you iphone seem like a network drive. Click on iPhoneExplorer.1.0.2795.41331.zip to extract to a folder: 08/27/2007 11:57 PM 24,576 Interface.dll 08/27/2007 11:57 PM 28,672 iPhoneDriveControl.exe 08/27/2007 07:00 PM 1,779 iPhoneDriveControl.exe.config 08/27/2007 11:57 PM 24,576 iPhoneFS.dll 01/05/2008 09:37 PM 0 log.txt 08/27/2007 11:57 PM 32,768 ManzanaLocal.dll 08/27/2007 07:00 PM 24,576 MicroKernel.dll 08/27/2007 07:00 PM 20,480 NamedPipe.dll 08/27/2007 07:00 PM 159,744 PortalSMB.dll 3. Install iTunesMobileDevice.dll into the "iPhoneDriveControl.exe" directory. I doubleclicked on "iPhoneDriveControl.exe" and got the warning dialog: Fatal Error! You are missing iTunesMobileDevice.dll! Do you want to locate a copy? Yes No When I pressed the "Yes" button, I got a nice browser dialog asking: "Select a iTunesMobileDevice.dll File" C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\ When I selected the "iTunesMobileDevice.dll" file in that directory, the program copied that dll into the directory containing the iPhoneDriveControl.exe executable I had clicked on. Kewl. Then a dialog box pops up saying: iPhoneExplorer 2008-01-05 09:45:18 StartServer: --------- Start of Trace --------- 2008-01-05 09:45:18 StartServer: Waiting for iPhone to connect 2008-01-05 09:45:19 phone_Connect: iPhone connected, starting CIFS Server 2008-01-05 09:45:26 mapDrive: Found drive 'I:', mapping it... 2008-01-05 09:45:28 mapDrive: Ok,'I:' is pointing at your iPhone! 3. Look for the ipod touch in your Windows XP "My Computer": My Computer > iphonedrive on 'iphonedrive' (I:)
At this point, I tried copying files onto the now-mounted ipod touch but I kept getting an error that the files copied could not be found. 4. So I tried clicking on "iPhoneList.exe" which brought up a GUI. But, I didn't know what to do next. Do you? QUESTIONS: a. Once the ipod touch is mounted as a disk, why can't I slide files into it (such as SharePod) without getting a read error? b. Can we execute programs such as SharePod freeware on the now mounted iphone touch? Should SharePod go in a top-level directory or should the SharePod files be spread out at the ipod touch root level? c. Can someone take what I wrote and add the next few steps to get both an MP3 song from the Windows PC to the ipod touch and an executable such as SharePod onto the ipod touch? | |||||||||||||
