How to FTP to an iTouch

[UnknowingAcorn]

Everyone wishes they could just plug in their itouch and view the entire system files. Well theres an easier way but it requires some setting up first.

Requirements:
Jailbroken iTouch (Any Firmware)
Wireless Internet Connection
SmartFTP

Step 1: Download and Install SmartFTP

http://www.smartftp.com/get/SFTPMSI.exe

Step 2: On your jailbroken itouch install the following

Install > System > BSD Subsystem
Install > System > OpenSSH
Install > Network > Pure-FTPd

Step 3: On your iTouch go to Settings > Wi-Fi > (the Blue Circle with an arrow beside your network). Write down your IP. it should be something like. xxx.xxx.x.xxx

Step 4: Open SmartFTP and choose new Remote Browser and use the following settings.

Protocol - SFTP over SSH
Host - IP you wrote down
Username - root
Password - alpine

Note: the username and password will always be root and alpine unless you change it

Step 5 : Click okay and Enjoy the FTP

Do you have OpenSSH?

[rine]

yes
i have all of the requirements listed at the beginning of the tut
i used the SSH from system and when that didnt work i tried the SSH from iClarified

This the info I got from SmartFTP that it wont connect I did everything you asked(that is a fake Ip I wrote for you guys there just for my safety from anyone):

[13:05:29] SmartFTP v3.0.1023.4
[13:05:29] Resolving host name "153.199.6.3"
[13:05:29] Connecting to 153.199.6.3 Port: 22
[13:05:31] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
[13:05:31] Client closed the connection.
[13:05:31] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...


So any ideas to what to do about this?

I've been successful at most of the steps, but found these errors:

Install > System > BSD Subsystem
This option didn't exist, but a beta linux did. I installed it instead.

Install > Network > Pure-FTPd
This option also didn't exist. I've downloaded some other ftp tools, but still getting a connection failed on SmartFTP

Any recommendations?
