Here's a HowTo for people willing to ssh their Jolla but who don't know how to. Hope it's clear enough.

1) Enable developer mode

Settings -> System -> Developer mode

Check the 2 first options and enter a password of your choice.

Note the IP address. Here : 192.168.1.8

2) Download putty from here : http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe

3) Run putty.exe, it should open something like this :

Type the IP of your jolla that you noted in step 1. The rest should be fine by default and click open :

You might get a warning. Just click „YES“ :

In the next windows :

Type in nemo followed by Enter.

It will prompt you for the password you set in step 1):

Type in the password followed by enter.

It should now look like this:

If you do not need root access, you are done.

To get root access, now enter devel-su followed by enter. It will prompt you for a password. Type in the password you set in step 1:

That’s it.

Warnings

Be careful, with root access: You can now break your phone if you don’t know what you are doing.

Disable "Remote access" before connecting to networks you cannot trust (e.g. public WiFi networks, mobile providers that do not allocate private IP 4 addresses and block inter-user IP communication – assume, they do not, as long as you do not know they do). Otherwise, strangers could try to enter your phone via ssh and try passwords using an automated procedure until they have been successfully entering your phone.

For simple FILE transfer between jolla and windows once connected to same WiFi (pc-jolla)

1st step as the previous post (enable developer mode and remote connection , set a password && note your Wlan IP address)

download WinSCP, start it

host name: Wlan IP address

user name : nemo

password: the password you set

login

Instead of enabling / disabling Remote_access every time, I have restricted sshd such that it only accepts requests when the phone is bound to a specific ip-address. This only works if your phone always get the same IP-address when it is connected to your local wlan. In order to make sshd only accept requests when you phone has a specific ip-address you have to do adjust the ListenAddress parameter in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
