[nightelves]

Have you tried cyberduck. I found that worked and make sure it's SFTP

Try rebooting ur router. It happened to me and my problem got fixed. I had the same exact problem.

[thuyquyen]

I have the same problem, I did tried everything, reset router, using wired not wifi, reboot Appletv still no luck. I have to restore and rejailbreak it again then it OK.

re-jailbreak and change your password immediately! there is an issue with the jailbreak, once you change your password it will work fine. (i have 3 apple tv2 units and all had this issue before i changed the password)

Download putty that will give you a ssh terminal into the apple tv to enter commands



once logged into your apple tv with username: root password: alpine

enter the following commands:

su
alpine
passwd
<New Password>
<New Password again>
passwd mobile
<New Password>
<New Password again>
exit
exit

I had the same problem

Found this elsewhere, followed it and it worked.

Download openssh_5.8p1-9_iphoneos-arm.deb onto your PC/Mac

Use the NitoTV UI on ATV2 to
- install afc2add
- install vsftpd

Reboot the ATV
connect via USB cable to your PC / MAC
and connect using iFunbox (you must have the power plug in the ATV and THEN connect to your PC/Mac with US

Under Connected Devices (in iFunBox) you should see your ATV2
Go to Raw File System (this is the / of your ATV)
Navigate to
/private/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall
Use CopyFromPC option to upload openssh_5.8p1-9_iphoneos-arm.deb into that directory
What this does is upon next reboot, cydia will attempt to install any deb file that is in AutoInstall directory.
However because you have a newer version, which can't be uninstalled, cydia will not downgrade, hence navigate to
/private/var/stash/libexec/cydia/startup
and use CopyToPC option to copy startup file to your pc/mac
edit the file on your pc/mac
modify the line that has dpkg to this
dpkg --force-downgrade -i "${debs[@]}" 2>/tmp/dpkg.log 1>&2
basically we are adding an option to force downgrading (--force-downgrade)
and then upload it back to ATV using CopyFromPC option.

reboot ATV
check using NitoTV to make sure you have the downgraded version running on ATV.
test to see if you can connect.
if not,
upgrade openssh
reboot
you should be able to connect again.

Why would you want to downgrade OpenSSH? I have never experienced any problems with the latest version of OpenSSH. The problem doesn't lie in the software.

[Frederick_99]

The problem occurs sometimes when you allow NitoTV to update all.

It then somehow kills your SSH into your appleTV.

Believe me......it happened to me and doing the above is the only thing that fixed it short of a fresh jailbreak and reinstall of xbmc etc.

Might also suggest changing root password from alpine as well afterwards

[Fight9]

Are you sure it's not just changing the host key and your computer is blocking the traffic because it might be at risk of the "man in the middle" deal?

[Frederick_99]

Yes, you simply get a Sever Connection error, don't even get as far winscp asking about keys. You can ping the appletv and get a response ( well at least i did) but that's as far as you get.

i used the NitoTV UI on ATV2 to
- install afc2add
- install vsftpd

but ifunbox doesnt show my atv, any ideas?

[Frederick_99]

make sure then that you
