    Red face Jailbroken iPod touch: Cannot write to /var/mobile/

    Hey everyone. I have a successfully jailbroken iPod touch (first generation, firmware 2.2).
    My problem is that i have, the ipod mounted with OpenSSH, no write access to /var/mobile. (I cannot paste or create files.)

    ls -l /var/mobile/ tells me:
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 44 mobile mobile 1496 Jan 5 22:50 Applications/
    drwxr-xr-x 4 mobile mobile 204 Jan 6 17:30 Documents/
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root mobile 68 Jan 6 21:01 Glitter/
    drwxr-xr-x 38 mobile mobile 1394 Jan 6 22:14 Library/
    drwxr-xr-x 12 mobile mobile 476 Jan 4 22:32 Media/

    in another forum, ive been asked for the rights of the wallpapers. These are:
    ls -l /Library/Wallpaper/
    total 21684

    -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 281412 Aug 29 2007 01_iPod.png
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 13267 Aug 29 2007 01_iPod.thumbnail.png
    etc..

    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks a lot!

    Try this:

    Code:
    sudo chown -R login.name /var/mobile
    chmod 0700 /var/mobile
    Where 'login.name' is your system login name.
