SSH is one of the handiest tools ever ported for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and now Apple TV.Secure Shell more generally known as SSS is a network protocol that allows you to establish a remote connection between two or more hosts. This protocol allow us to access the root privileges of your iDevice file system. We may, thus, transfer files and content at will, in any folder. Once you’ve jailbroken your Apple TV , you can access your Apple from a shell on your Mac or with third party programs.
Requirements :
* An Apple TV Jailbroken, if you aren’t, Follow our guide to Guide to Jailbreak Apple TV with Pwnage Tool
* A WiFi network. Your Apple TV and PC / Mac must be connected to the same wireless network.
* A third party program to connect your device : For Windows use WinSCP, Mac users can go for Cyberduck
Instructions :
* Note of your Apple TV IP address from Go to the Settings menu on Apple TV, select General then Network here you can find the IP Address of your network.
* Now Launch your SSH program WinSCP or Cyberduck. WinSCP will redirect you to a new ‘Session’ screen while in Cyberduck, you’ll need to choose ‘Open New Connection’. In the next screen you need to fill the following information
Hostname or Server = Type your Apple TV’s IP address in this field
Username = Type ‘root’ (without the quotes) in this field
Password = Type ‘alpine’ in this field (without the quotes) or whatever you have
File Protocol = Should be SCP on WinSCP and SFTP on Cyberduck
