I'm having trouble SSH my iPad, works fine with my iPhone4. I've followed several different people's tutorials, but still have not had success. I keep getting the "access denied" error and I've type the "alpine" correctly hundreds of times.
If it's 3.2.2, is it jailbroken?
If you don't have it jailbroken, you won't have the SSH-server running on it, therefore it won't respond to an SSH-connection.
I am going to assume you have jailbroken and installed the OpenSSH package (SSH is not installed with the latest jailbreak). Are you sure you have SSH and Data transfer enabled? The easiest way is to use SBSettings toggles for both. Enable SSH and Data and then reboot the device. After that you should have SSH access. I have been using it quite a bit with no issues at all.
