into the console of my iPhone/iPod
Touch like MobileTerminal on
jailbroken phones?

applications cannot access the local
console or execute other
applications on the device.

files directly onto the iPhone's
file system using SCP or WinSCP?

to use SSH to transfer files between
a desktop and an iPhone (Air

Software is a good example), all
iPhone apps are restricted to
writing in a specific area of the
device and cannot access the whole
file system.

passworded based, SSH connection.
Additionally one can import private
keys using the OpenSSH format to the
iPhone clipboard. It can also export
the iPhone-generated private keys in
OpenSSH format to the iPhone
clipboard.
