Configure SFTP on Mac OS X


Mac OS X supports SFTP through the Remote Login option. To enable this open the System Preferences App


Click on the Sharing icon to bring up the Sharing preferences screen.

 

 


Check the Remote Login option and configure access for your iOS Device.

 

 

Now that you have Remote Login configured you should be able to connect to your Mac from Air Sharing. But first you need to find out your computer’s IP address. The easiest way is to open the Apple menu and select "About This Mac", then click on "More Info" and then open up the Network tab.

 

Now launch Air Sharing on your iPhone and tap the Servers button in the upper left corner and then tap Edit in the upper right corner.

 

Tap the ‘+’ in the upper left corner and choose SSH.

 

In the URL field enter the IP address of your PC. If you want the Server connection to automatically remember your username and password, enter it now. Similarly, if you want to have a description for the server connection now is the time to enter that.
