Download OpenSSH for Windows for free. THIS PROJECT IS DISCONTINUED. An installer for a minimal installation of the Cygwin environment suitable for running an OpenSSH server on the Windows platform. I have read about deleting all numbered files in '/var/lib/dpkg/updates' however, I do not have iFile, and I do not have anything downloaded through cydia like 'OpenSSH.' Can I still SSH into my iPod touch 5 to fix cydia even though I do not have OpenSSH downloaded and cannot get into cydia to download it? How to install afc2add without using wi-fi in a jailbroken iPad 3 with 7.0.4? But, in order to install mobileTerminal or openssh, I need to install afc2add in.
I have an iPad 3 and originally I had installed iOS 5.1.1. Then, I used the command 'nvram wifiaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' to change my mac address using the MobileTerminal, but I didn't realized I changed it to an invalid mac address. The first thing that happened was that after rebooting my device, it says that I have to connect my device to iTunes. After searching in google and testing all different methods to overcome this issue, none of them worked for me.
Then, I decided to update my iOS to 7.0.4 since I was running out of options. After I installed it, I noticed that my Wifi says N/A in the Settings/Info screen. Knowing this, search in the web and I later realized that the connect to iTunes error I was having was due to an invalid mac address that I had assigned.
Later, the jailbreak for iOS 7 came out and I was very happy since I thought that my problem was going to be solved. Guess what? It didn't. I now have cydia in my iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4, but, in order to install mobileTerminal or openssh, I need to install afc2add in order to access the root folder of the device. But guess what? I can't. Why? Because I don't have internet because I don't have a valid mac address.
So, this is like a kind of a deadlock. I tried all methods I came think out. I tried to restore again my device back to iOS 5.1.1 since I have my shsh files, but unfortunely since its an A5 device, you can't do that as for now. I then try to install afc2add using a program called cyder from my computer, but guess what? I can't because I need afc2add in order to access my jailbroken device's root folder. I also tried sharing internet access using an iPhone 5's hotspot and my iPad, but since I don't have a valid mac address, it seems I can't receive anything from the internet. I know this because I did this same test with another iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4 and a valid mac address and with this one it worked well.
So, I'm running out of options, what can I do? I guess I have to wait to either the A5 devices can be downgraded, a program that helps me install afc2add in my device or a jailbreak that already includes this for iOS 7. If you happen to know what to do, please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: I tried the latest version of iExplorer with not luck. Just in case, I also tried: iFunBox, iTools, PP Assistant, 91 Assistant, cyder and iSpirit. With iSpirit I can see the Cydia AutoInstall folder, but even if I upload deb files in there, since it says it's jailed, I don't think I'm uploading the files in the right place. I also tried creating the Cydia AutoInstall folder manually without any luck. I think as long as I can access the correct folder of where to put deb files for Cydia to install, that will also solve my problem. Thanks!
Edit2: I also tried Diskaid with no avail.

Below are the steps I followed:
- Create a
Packages.bz2
file which includes info ofafc2add
anderica utilities
. - Copy
Packages.bz2
and the 2.deb
files in some folder inside your iDevice (Downloads
,Books
, etc). - Add a new source repo in Cydia:
file:///var/mobile/Media/Downloads
- Just install
Erica Utilities
first and thenafc2add

This project seems outdated. One may think of using this one instead: @github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/
It overwrites PATH!
Dangerous piece of junk. If it wiped your path variable the following registry entry has the original one: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMXXXControlSession ManagerEnvironmentPath where XXX is ControlSet001 or ControlSet002 or Current ControlSet. see superuser.com search for 'deleted-path-environment-variable-how-to-restore'
It destroys PATH variable.
