After seeing your suggestions, I tried writing my own tutorial but failed.
Can an ipod freeware mp3 expert help us by "fixing" what's wrong with this
tutorial below for ipod touch and iphone users on the Windows XP PC?


0. I read the tutorial for WinSCP on the ipod touch on a Windows XP PC at:

http://limitededitioniphone.com/wind...cp-with-iphone

Note: I was unsure what this sentence below meant, so I skipped that
step (does it matter?)
"make sure you have ssh and bsd subsystem installed from
installer".

1. I downloaded and install WinSCP freeware onto my Windows XP PC:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

2. On the ipod touch, I found my IP address to be 192.168.1.2:
ipod touch: Settings > Wi-Fi > MY_NETWORK_NAME > MY_IP_Address

3. I started WinSCP & filled out the "WinSCP Login" form as follows:
C:\My Programs\Ipod\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe
Host name = 192.168.1.2
Port number = 22
User name = root
Password = alpine
Private key file = <blank>
File protocol = SCP

4. Then I pressed the "Login" button in WinSCP.
I get the root@192.168.1.2 error:
"Network error: Connection timed out."
Where I can either press "OK" or "Reconnect" no matter what I do.

QUESTIONS:
a. The original tutorial implies we need something called SSH subsystem.
How do we install SSH subsystem on a Windows XP PC?
b. The original tutorial implies we need something called BSD subsystem.
How do we install BSD subsystem on a Windows XP PC?
c. The original tutorial uses a password of "alpine".
How do we figure out what our ipod touch password is?
d. The original tutorial is for an iPhone.
Does this tutorial work for an ipod touch?
