+*** NOTE:
+*** Doing this is mostly obsolete. The preferred method to sync music to an
+*** iPhone now is to use ifuse or some other afc-based client, which does not
+*** require jailbreaking or adding this service. Please take a look at the
+*** libiphone, ifuse, and libgpod projects.
+
+com.openssh.sft.plist is a launchd configuration to set up a bare SFTP server
+on TCP port 2299 localhost-only for USB use. It's nice for relatively fast music
+syncing and file transfer under Linux (and it avoids encryption). Con: it gives
+anyone with usb access root FS access on the phone, as well as anything running
+on the phone itself.
+
+Use it with a command like this:
+
+IPATH=/var/mobile/Media
+MOUNTPOINT=$HOME/media/iphone
+$ sshfs localhost:$IPATH $MOUNTPOINT -o workaround=rename -o directport=2299 \
+ -o kernel_cache -o entry_timeout=30 -o attr_timeout=30
+
+Make sure you run tcprelay.py:
+$ python tcprelay.py -t 2299
+
+Remember that to bypass the stupid new iTunesDB hash you need to edit
+/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml and change DBVersion to 2.
