SSH Server for Windows XP

For a Mac, turning on SSH server is built-in and is just one click inside System Preferences -> Sharing Pane -> Remote Login -> just check the checkbox and it even tells you the command line syntax to use to SSH in from the client. For Windows it is more work: MobaSSH Server is the software I selected. Install it last. First, go into control panel -> Windows Firewall and add exception: name it SSH and use port 22. (I also turned on remote desktop in the same pane, not sure it was necessary but I read that on a forum somewhere) Second, don't make the mistake I made. I changed my username in control panel -> Users to make it all one word with no spaces, thinking that the two word name would mess up the SSH client at the command line. WRONG! Because when you change your user name, it does not change your user file directory. (If it did it would mess up everything you have installed on the computer). Well it turns out MobaSSH uses your user name from the file pathway, instead of from the login, if they do not match. That problem had me stumped for two weeks. Make sure you have a password for your Windows login. Third, install MobaSSH. From the Client (I used Terminal (Unix) from a Mac): ssh "firstusername lastusername@192.168.1.xxx" With the quotes!!!

Creating Icon for iPhone app in Xcode 4.4

Create a png image with name below resize it to 57x57 using from command prompt (terminal): sips -z 57 57 icon.png Drag and drop to the project by clicking on the target, opening the summary panel, and dragging and dropping to the app icon section. Will test this with other image file names, sizes, and formats, but for now, this works
