SSH problem iOS

Oy oy,

I had a problem SSH-ing into my iPhone the other day. It's an iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 tethered redsn0w jailbreak, and I'm running this from my MacBook Pro 7,1 on OS X 10.6.6. Cyberduck and Terminal weren't getting through, so I did a quick Google search.

1) you have to clear out the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file on your Mac
2) Navigate there with Terminal by typing "cd ~/.ssh" and "open ."
3) Open known_hosts with TextEdit and delete everything
4) Save and quit
5) Try SSH again

That's the fix that worked for me. Cyberduck and Terminal are now both able to SSH into my iPhone. Cheers.
