SSH
Ok I'm a noob to SSH and i have no clue where to post this questions, Hopefully I'm not too far off. I have an issue with my computer not letting SSH in. My goal is to dump my iPhone in to my C drive so i can recover some pictures i wiped being careless. Well that was my original goal now its to figure this out, because being a proud geek i don't think anything tech wise should be out of my reach so now I'm pushing on out of sheer stubbornness to beat the computer lol. So here is what happens:

I have installed both WINscp and putty on my vista system. And ssh and terminal on my iPhone, first i couldn't get port 22 to open for the life of me. My router was saying all is fine but it wasn't open via portchecker. So i finally turned off my Norton firewall and windows firewall and i finally got a connection. So i ping my phone: all is good, i try to ssh in to my computer and it just hangs there for ever, (I have left it over night). So i try to figure out who's to blame, comp or phone. I run "ssh root@192.168.1.4" from my phone and all is good, asks for password and if I'm sure i want to authenticate it, i put it in. and I'm in sweet. I try it from my computer "ssh Kray-Z@192.168.1.2" and it sits there for ever. nothing. Oh and i can ssh to my phone from the comp but not the other way around. Basically my computer is somehow blocking incoming SSH requests (that's my guess) oh and yes i have enabled remote assistance on my computer.

What am i doing wrong? and how can i fix it. Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance.

I'm not clear from your description - but I think your phone is an ssh cleint, but not an ssh server - in other words the iphone is not running sshd?

If that is true you can only login one way: phone -> computer. terminal -> server.

i have openSSH on my phone if that helps at all

EDIT: oh and can you explain the diff between client and server. I know the diff when it comes to actuall servers and client computers, is it the same? but i should still be able to ssh from one to the other right?

and a bit more info, im following this how to guide to diskdump my phone on to my computer. This is one of many go bys that pretty much say the exact same thing.

If they're coming from you're computer they're not "incoming".

Just having openssh on your phone doesn't mean you have an ssh server on your phone.

Since neither your phone nor your computer is running UNIX, maybe you've found the wrong forum? :P We can try and help but we're just guessing here, what do we know about iphone...
