SSH Over EDGE Trick

Posted by greg

So I’m needing to SSH to a box and I’m nowhere near a WiFi spot… You can achieve such by using an iPhone terminal app (Term-vt100 or MobileTerminal), an iPhone ported version of SSH, and your carrier’s EDGE network.

Just initiate an EDGE connection by opening Safari & loading some page, leave that, start the terminal app of your choice, and SSH to your heart’s content.

That’s all. If ya don’t know, now ya know…

nice to know i have done it before on accident but didn’t realize how i was able to do it without being connected to wifi..its weird if you look at your ifconfig edge assigns you a ip that looks like “ipadddress –> ip address” not sure what that means.
