“Connecting iPhone to Linux Using OpenSSH and FileZilla: If you
have a jailbroken iPhone, you can only harness its full power if
you can connect with it remotely and transfer files to and from the
device using your computer. If you are still thinking of
jailbreaking your iPhone, do it already by simply visiting
jailbreakme.com using the Safari web browser from your handset, and

will need to install the “OpenSSH” package using Cydia.

“2. Go to your iPhone settings, open Wi-FI, and then click on
the network you are using to view the details. Take note of your
‘IP Address’.”
