How to SSH the iphone

SSH stands for Secure SHell.
It is just a protocol that allows you to access your iPhone or  iPod Touch from your desktop PC or MAC and execute commands on it (thus allowing you to copy any kind of data to and from the iPhone or  iPod Touch without iTunes).You can use a program like Cyberduck on MAC or WinSCP on Windows and you can browse your iPhone or iPod Touch  like any other hard drive and explore it’s content (which can be very interesting). It can be very useful for customization of your iPhone.
If you are jailbroken and you don't have SSH'd it then  it is really of no use. SSH is very important to access the root folder and solve many iphone issues.
