Connectiog to touch via SFTP
Ok so not wanting to derail more from this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=183526&page=7 The purpose of all this is to achieve a landscape mode from the web browser via mmatej jailbreak. So far ive been able to connect via shsh but cannot connect via sftp with same password. I copied the sftp_server archive in the main directory of the kindle which should be enough. Quote:

Ill wait for 5.1.2 and do the jailbreak for that version when you redo your web jailbreak. See if i can do it there |

You will either have a VERY LONG wait, or you will use a "non-web" jailbreak (available in the Dev Corner forum). |

(also, I had an idea to rewrite it as WAF, but it would break the purpose (jailbreak before jailbreak?) |

If a web page can run code on a kindle (needed to install a jailbreak), it can also be used to install malware such as a virus or botnet just by visiting an infected web page. That is a very bad thing. |

Other bugs ARE used to install jailbreaks by traditional methods. The currently fashionable method uses data.tar.gz and its variants. They do not work on external web pages. That was a cute hack, but it was known from the start to have a short lifespan (may it rest in peace). |

If they dont ill start shopping for alternatives to the touch. too bad because even though its not as smooth as an ipad its actually very good for forum browsing.. except it cannot go landscape and some forums look very little because of it. |

The web jailbreak was an interesting experiment while it lasted, but its time has ended, and it is time to go back to the "data.tar.gz" jailbreak method. |
